Hey guys,
I'm new here, so I like to say Hi to everyone here. My english is too bad, but I'll give it a try..
Yesterday I recieved my Nailbomb witch I planned to put on the bridge of my Gibson SG special. I know how to put pickups in a guitar but.. I opened my guitar and it was wired strange but worked perfect. So I went on the internet and searched around, the wiring was standard Gibson SG wiring, but was totaly diverent than a standard LP wiring. The 2 pickups where soldered on the Neck volume pot or something. My first question: The LP and Sg are technicaly the same guitars. 2 pickups, 3-wayswitch, 2 tone and 2 volume pots. Why dous gibson do this, a diverent sound or something?
Anyway, I grabt my solder iron and changed the whole thing in a standard LP wiring (I understand how that works), put the Nailbomb in it. I checked it, and it worked. But, the thing is there is a volume diverence between the Nailbomb and the 490t I replaced. The 490t was a bit louder than the Nailbomb, I did not expect this. (it's a 2 conductor Nailbomb.) So I searched on the gibson website for the pickup resistance, but I couldnt find anything. So my second question is: Is this output diverence normal or a mistake I made somewhere in the wiring.
