Gibson Pickup Quick Connects?

[Verne Bunsen]

Hello all! I have purchased a set of Gibson 57 Classics for a build and they come set up for some kind of quick-connect system that I guess Gibson must use these days:

Do any of y’all know where I might procure the other half of those connectors? Or is the standard procedure just to cut them off and treat them like normal pickup wires?

They connect to Gibsons PC board for tone and volume. I say cut them.

Ah, so not another loose connector then. Duly noted, “cut them” it is. Thanks!

They are 5 pin molex 3.0 connectors. There are sellers on the likes of Ebay etc that sell the other half of the compatible sockets for the plugs and kits to add the connectors on to a set of pickups.

Another option to cutting them if you can get hold of the compatible Molex parts I would use those along with your pots etc to create a harness. Then you have the benefit of not cutting the wires and being able to sell or swap them out in the future.
