I got new pickups on the way

I looked some but did not find the right plug in connector that would replace the plug in socket on the circuit board.
I wanted to solder the correct connector to the pots to accept the pickup connectors.

I have pickups that have the plug in connectors that I don't want to cut off, to use in guitars that don't have the plug in set up.
I have cut them off before: typically for Gibson you have to reverse the hot and ground for one of them or they will be out of phase.
Dunno about the Epi wiring.

Honestly, I might have bought the the whole kit with pots and wiring but it literally doubles the price.

I very recently bought a loaded Frailin Vintage Hot pickup set for a Strat. It WAS double the cost of the pups. When I opened the thing up I found a ceramic disk cap in it!
I wrote Frailin, and they sent me a paper-and-oil replacement N/C.
Note to self: READ EVERYTHING IN THE DESCRIPTION.
 
This is so ugly it’s laughable, I had everything ready to go, I never thought about the Les Paul top thickness. The pots would work on a Chibson maybe but not a genuine LP.
I thought, let me see if I can send them back.
Both are going back tomorrow. Cost about $10 total for shipping.
I used new CTS long shaft pots and orange tone caps.
I still used Zebra , my custom wound T Top by Seymour Duncan in around 2014. It’s 14k Alnico 4.
The neck is a GFS, it looks like hell right now. I had to borrow the mounting ring (crème) for the bridge.
I played it in the Paul Kossoff Challenge thread.
