A diagram showing the wiring of a Gibson Les Paul electric guitar. Shown are the humbucker pickups with individual tone and volume controls (T and V, respectively), 3-way pickup selector switch, tone capacitors that form a passive low-pass filter, the output jack and connections between those components. The top right shows a modification that ...
The Gibson G-3 was a bass guitar by Gibson building on the design of the Gibson Grabber. Introduced in 1975 as a companion to the Gibson Grabber, the G-3 (which stands for Grabber 3) introduced a new pickup scheme to the already established body style.
Pickups are selected with a three-position switch, and two wiring schemes exist: Vintage: 1) neck pickup with treble cutoff for a bassier sound; 2) neck pickup only; 3) bridge pickup only. Modern: 1) neck pickup only, with no treble cutoff; 2) neck and bridge; 3) bridge pickup only.
[4] The pickup is connected with a 6.35 mm audio jack (instrument cable) to an amplifier, which amplifies the signal to a sufficient magnitude of power to drive a loudspeaker (most amplifiers are above 10 watts). A pickup can also be connected to recording equipment via a patch cable.
A wiring diagram for parts of an electric guitar, showing semi-pictorial representation of devices arranged in roughly the same locations they would have in the guitar. An automotive wiring diagram, showing useful information such as crimp connection locations and wire colors. These details may not be so easily found on a more schematic drawing.
[3] Engineer and Gibson employee Seth Lover had developed a hum-canceling circuit for amplifier power supplies and suspected the same concept could be applied to guitar pickups. [1] Ted McCarty authorized the project and Lover spent much of 1954 working on this noise-cancelling or "hum-bucking" pickup design. [4] By early 1955, the design was ...
More than 3,000 fake Gibson guitars that could have been sold for a combined $18.7 million were seized by federal authorities after the typically made-in-America instruments arrived from Asia ...
[4] Gibson also manufactured a Gibson ES-355TD-SV which was a fancier version of the ES-345TD. Both the ES-345TD/SV and the ES-355TD-SV did not become as popular as the simple ES-335. One reason was that the ES-345 and the ES-355 each required a 'Y' cable and a TRS jack to separate the pickup signals. The much simpler mono ES-335 did not ...
