In my opinion, a new way to install pickups is long overdue for the guitar world! The Kwikplug system from GFS makes swapping pickups as easy as plugging in a cable! In this demo I'm swapping in a GFS Vintage Extra Hot pickup in the neck position, and a Crunchy Rails in the bridge pickup. The guitar is a Xaviere XV-555!

From Leo: That is interesting, especially since they did not develop those connectors. The Bergstik system has been used in the electronics industry since at least 1970. The GFS has the advantage uses shielded wire that is way more important with passive singlecoils.

There can still be another kind that can be made but the real reason it doesn't exist is because of how many "tone purists" there are in the guitar community. Everyone would be complaining that the tone wouldn't be as good for some reason or something.

I've got four GFS VEH Kwik Plug PUs installed in two guitars. Guitarfetish says they are modeled after the Van Halen "brown sound" pickup. They are close to that sound. They have really nice distinction and clarity and are very responsive to pick attack. They aren't as high output as a modern shred pickup but are perfect for 80s metal and classic rock sounds. Top quality pickup that holds it's own against my DiMarzios. Thanks for the demo, it's easy once you get the wiring in.

@@seankelly6139 Literally look at the amount of actual wires coming from your pickup (unscrew it and pull it out) cut the wire(s) underneath the pickup and solder a male to one end and a female to the other, remembering to solder the wires to the correct side of the connector so each sides are wired properly. Take both hands and make a peace sign, now touch the peace sign fingertips together. Imagine a male connector on one side and a female connector on the other. This is literally what you are doing with the pickup wire. If you buy a new set of pickups, solder the _opposite_ connector to what is attached to the guitars electronics and just 'plug it in'

@@seankelly6139 Ok, used the words 'split coil' and 'coil tap'.....those are the same thing. What they mean is you are 'tapping' into the coil at its mid-point of the winding, or 'splitting' the coil so to speak. When coils are wound they make a small loop after winding a bunch of turns on the bobbin. That little loop is twisted together, and the winding if the coil continues until it meets requirements. That little loop that was made in the middle is the point you connect to to use half the coil. Now to determine which of the 3 wire coming from the coil is the 'centertap' you will need an ohmmeter to measure the resistance of the 3 wires in relation to each other. I'm not exactly familiar with what you're working on and the pots and their connections. I'm just giving you some more general info that might help you get there. I didn't even know there was a product called the Kwikplug. Honestly if I had the time I'd research it for you and tell you how to wire it up but I do have a million things going on atm.
@seankelly6139
@seankelly6139 2 жыл бұрын
@@minkorrh coil tap is not the same as coil splitting. Coil tap is done with a single coil pickup starting a wire for coil tapping part way thru of wiring the bobbin. Coil splitting changes to south pickup on humbucker. 2 single coils put together is a humbucker. Coil split a humbucker goes to the use of one North or south sides of the pickup. You can't coil split a single coil pickup due to the fact that it only has one coil. Therefore coil tap is for a single coil pickup and coil splitting is for a humbucker. Look it up. Every description of coil tap is not the same as coil splitting. Coil tap needs 3 wires. Coil splitting need 5. So not the same. I've been fixing guitars for years now plus I have friends in huge bands that have expressed to me that those are not the same. Look up Jimmy Page Wiring harness. How you gonna manage to do that with 3 wires per pickup. You can't.

I built about 5 guitars maybe more to break up the boredom due to covid. Some of the bodies and necks I got from GFS but I got some stuff from Warmoth and got some Mighty Mite necks but the first build I got everything from GFS. I love their pickups at GFS. They’re made in Boston MA and basically GFS sells a pair for the cost of one Dimarzio or Seymour Duncan and they offer wiring kits for most common Strat Tele or dual humbucker or single humbucker configurations that eliminates soldering and I love em. I haven’t swapped any but if you like swapping pickups you’ll love these. The pots seem like decent quality as well. They have PAF pickups, ceramic pickups, alnico 2 and 5. And they do sound great. I’ve ordered one super distortion for my American Strat before I found these and haven’t bought anything else since. Great pickups and seems like great wiring and electronics. Their bodies and necks can be more hit and miss. I hear many complaints about the bodies not being cut well and I got one that could’ve been routed better but all in all the electronics are great.

First, Thank You for doing this video. My Husband has been interested in this GFS Kwik-Plug system for months. He is interested in purchasing one of the Stratocaster Style Kwik-Plug GFS guitars, and converting it to HSS (for me...because I love one of the colors). Any hints?? Thank you again for this outstanding Video!!!

Max, do you think you could make a video which converts the Firefly LP to the GFS Kwikplug system? Since all GFS Kwikplug pickups come with the connector already included, it would be easy to choose any GFS pickup. I think your viewers would be interested in such a video because the Firefly LP's come with microphonic pickups. I searched and there is no such video or website. Soldering is required. Microphonic pickups are notorious for having feedback.

Quick connect systems are a little deceptive. If your guitar doesn't have a quick connect system already in it then there will be a liitle soldering to get the guitar ready to accept the quick connect system. After that's done then yes, you're doing 3 minute pickup changes.

Your Soloing kinda had a Kirk Hammett sound with those pick ups. What’s your thoughts on the emg hetset?

Can you do a video of the other end of the kwikplug system in the potentiometer cavity. I have one kwikplug on my neck volume but not the bridge volume. Wondering why. Thanks

Yo, mate, random question here. Are you still hard into bodybuilding? Or are you more casual about it now? Should do a vid about the life of a bodybuilding metalhead at some point! Cheers

Hey man, I'm not as heavy into it. I still love it, but as I get older, I'm more interested in longevity. Bodybuilding can help that too of course. I will probably do some videos about exercise and how it benefits musicians.

Hair grows back, fingers heal, don't burn or get hot solder on the guitar finish.
