Members mcr23 Posted January 15, 2010 Members Share Posted January 15, 2010 I have a DKMG that has EMGs and I'm replacing them with the Crunch Lab / Liquifire combo. I also have my old Giby Gothic Explorer that has the orig 500T/496 pickups in it. I'm thinking about swapping the EMGs in there and selling the gibbys. Could I switch just have the pots/input jacks switched on the two guitfiddles? Also, is there anyone around here that knows how to install pickups?

Members Zacman0126 Posted January 15, 2010 Members Share Posted January 15, 2010 Are the crunch lab and liquifire pickups actives? if not you will need to replace the pots, the EMGs should be paired with 250k pots, and if your new pots are passives, you will need 500k pots. So long as the gibby has 500k pots you should be fine, although you might have to watch there are two types, long and short shaft pots, I myself can't really tell using just my eyes because it's such a minute difference in size, something like 1 cm, but it makes all the difference in what they will fit. Half the battle is knowing what to solder where. Go here for wiring diagrams: http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarsk8er239 Posted January 15, 2010 Members Share Posted January 15, 2010 do you know how to solder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OverDriven Posted January 15, 2010 Members Share Posted January 15, 2010 I would install em for ya if you were a little closer to Hampton Roads. I have a killer soldering station and nothing to solder at the moment. I could probably walk you through it if you want to try yourself though.

Long and short shaft pots, you can tell the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mcr23 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 15, 2010 Hopefully I can just have the gibby and DKMG pots/jacks switched. I should try and find out though. Don't want to waste anyone's time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to waste anyone's time. You will probably need three long shafts for the Gibson. I might have some extras, but I'm not sure. You'll probably also need to buy 2 500k pots for the Jackson. You'll probably need short shafts and maybe even mini pots, but again, I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members K-Bizzle Posted January 15, 2010 Members Share Posted January 15, 2010 Now I need to figure out the pots issue 1) Reuse the Gibbo pots on the Jackson 2) Reuse EMG pots on the Gibbo. 3) Sell Gibbo pups for super cheap to Mr Bizzle for his Kelly. 4) Win!
