Recently changed pups for my Custom solid body(mahogany and maple top) and discovered that this guitar has been initially packed with G&B Pickup Company humbuckers.... they have 5 wires.... Anybody come over pups like these? Also would like to know the wire color coding what goes where?

Re: G&B pups?
My Chapman ML2 (Korean run) came loaded with G&B humbuckers. The neck pickup sounded fine but the bridge pickup needed more power. They both were four conductor but didn’t have adjustable screws, that is, both coils were slugs. I ended up exchanging them both. This guitar now rocks a tb-4 from around 2000 in the bridge and a phat cat in the neck.

Re: G&B pups?
I have two sets that came off PRS SE's before they were using actual PRS designs just made cheaper (like the 245's or the 85/15's). They're like 10K/9K bridge and neck, respectively. They seem to be made well and use Alnico magnets, but their tone was nothing to write home about. At least not for what I was attempting to play with those guitars. In particular, I couldn't get them out fast enough in my old Mushok baritone tuned to Drop A.

Re: G&B pups?
I had a set come in my ESP LTD EC-256. These are chrome covered and 2-wire connections I believe (I'll check). They sounded good but I wanted to put in zebra Duncans. BUT, was going to use them in something else and I remember having trouble finding wiring codes.-=The Dali
