The efficiency of your state hub and local USPS plays a role as well. 95% of the time I ship the envelopes the day you order, but once the mail leaves my possession and into the hands of the post office, I have no control over how long it takes. Thanks Free USPS economy untracked shipping. Shipping upgrades available at checkout. (the detailed description starts here)2 Quick Connect adapters for Gibson (4 conductor+shield) "5 wire" pcb control boards These are the (4 conductor+shield) "5 wire" style Quick Connect that Gibson started using in (around) 2012. Made from 28 AWG 7 strand tinned copper wire and is about 4 inches long. Heat shrink tubing for all the wires is included, as well as 2 larger heat shrink tubes.You can use these connectors to connect pretty much any pickup from any company to a Gibson "5 wire" pcb control board. Shielded 1 wire, 2 wire, 3 wire, 4 wire, 5 wire pickups will all work with these connectors. If your gibson board has push pull pot features, it's best that your new pickup's wires are the 4 conductor+shield style.The following are used interchangeably and in most cases mean the same thing when referring to pickups with 4 colored wires and 1 bare wire:"4 conductor+shield" / "4 conductor" / "4 wire+shield" / "4 wire" / "5 wire." Check out the diagrams that I've included in the photos above for the basics.Use the diagrams to match your wires up. The pickup's shield/bare wire goes to the dark blue quick connect wire.Most people solder the wires together (it's considered the best way), but you could also twist the wires together and it will work just fine (if you're new to this kind of stuff and need tips/tricks for wire twisting, let me know). Options-If you want me to arrange the quick connect wires to match your pickup's color code (so they line up color to color when soldering), I can do that for you. On the Payment Page, click on the "message to seller icon." Just leave a note and include the pickup brand and model. The control board in "photo #3" is shown for example and is not included. If there's ever a problem of any kind, contact me, just try to be calm. I’ll get back to you as soon as I can and I will always fix it and make it right. Thanks Quick ’n Dirty Tips (always use safety glasses when working with tools) Even if you have an expensive stripper 😃, sometimes it can still be tricky to remove insulation without a nicking a wire. When using strippers, just use them to make the cut.Then, pull the insulation off with your fingers.Don't use the strippers to yank the insulation off! If you don't have or don't feel like buying wire strippers, here's a couple of alternative stripping methods you might find helpful. Method 1 Mark a straight line across the wires to be stripped with a marker Using a lighter, mini/pen torch, etc, heat the blade of a non-serrated butter knife or the non sharp side of a box cutter utility blade or something similar Place one wire at a time on a flat surface Put the hot blade on the marked line of the wire and Twist the wire under it while pushing the blade forward There should be a perfect line melted around the insulation now Pull the little bit of insulation off You should be good to go Method 2 Hold the wire in one hand Run the part of the wire that you want to strip over the flame of a cigarette lighter for 1 second or less (yes, literally 1 second or less) In a quick manner, pull the piece of insulation right off You should be good to go Practice these methods on some scrap wire first, then practice on the ends of the quick connect wire. You can find good practice wire inside old phone chargers and usb cables. If you use these alternative stripping methods, it's of your own free will and I'm not responsible for screw ups.
