Gibson® Les Paul® PCB Replacement kits
Not a fan of the Gibson Les Paul PCB (Printed Circuit Board) but still want the flexibility and convenience of plug & play? Our new Gibson Les Paul Drop-in PCB Replacement Kit gives you the best of both worlds! Based on our popular old-school hand-wired Les Paul CTS 500K push/pull wiring harness kits, mounted to a Gibson Les Paul ground plate, our new Gibson Les Paul PCB Replacement Kit is prewired with a custom connector module that is compatible with your existing Gibson stock output jack and toggle switch assemblies, and we add to that a pair of 5-pin QuickConnect adapters so you can continue to use your Gibson QuickConnect pickups without having to cut off the ends! A complete PCB drop-in replacement / upgrade - with NO soldering! And as an added bonus, if your stock PCB doesn’t currently have push/pull capabilities, this upgrade immediately enables coil-splitting, allowing you to unlock single-coil tones from your Les Paul! (Note: pickups must have 4-conductor leads with the small white 5-pin QuickConnect plugs).
Simply unplug your toggle switch, output jack, QuickConnect pickup leads and ground wire from the PCB and remove it from the guitar, drop in the new fully loaded control plate and plug in the black 5-pin connector from your toggle switch and 2-pin connector from your output jack, reconnect your QuickConnect pickups and fasten the ground wire and you’re back in business!
Individual compatible Switchcraft output jack assemblies and 3-way toggle switch assemblies prewired with the appropriate connector plugs available upon request. Premium versions of the LP PCB Replacement Kit and bespoke upgrades are also available featuring genuine Gibson 500K Tone pots, Luxe Radio Bumble Bee .022uf Tone capacitors, and Orange Drop treble bleed circuits. Also available for Gibson SG’s, but without the ground plate.
