Can someone give advice for changing pickups
Can someone give advice for changing pickups
I have a V series LTD that came stock with EMG actives and I'm replacing them with Seymour Duncan Black winters so I probably have to switch out the pots and input jack I guess (I've never done it before). I'm not sure which hardware will fit for this guitar model. Also the guitar has 2 volume knobs for each pickup and 1 tone knob and a 3 way toggle switch if anyone has recommendations to what I should get.
Thank you so much this was just the kind of info I was looking for. The pots I have right now are split shaft and do you know if the knobs ESP/LTD guitars come with are metric knobs or not? Even if I do make the hole in the guitar bigger to fit the pots into I'm still not sure if the knobs will fit on it.
I was looking at these: https://store.rsguitarworks.net/products/rs-guitarworks-500k-superpot-long
for the volume of course they would have the shorter thread if I can find them or these instead:
Yes, you'll need new pots and a jack. Typically with humbuckers you'll want 500kohm pots. For that guitar, you'll want the short shaft. You'll also need a capacitor for the tone pot, most people go with the .022 value with humbuckers.
You can reuse the toggle switch.
