So I just received my Blackouts, and a thought before installing them

Why, if these are the only "passive" sized pickups for seven strings, do they have the connection-of-quickness (since another active company owns the name "quik-connect ), but have no connection-of-quickness wiring? Are there legal implications if they offer it with a system that mimics......other active companies connections?


But to the fact that they give you 4 pots, and two caps (so you can run 2vol, 2tone, but you aren't limited).

They just included the connector so that you could easily swap from EMGs

But why would I buy passive sized pickups for an EMG routed guitar?


I imagine its just a casing thing (just crammed into a different housing), but I would really like to see a quick connect system on these.

They both utilize the same circuit board, so it would be silly not to include the plug on the bottom. Plus, we have the foresight that we may not be the only ones making passive sized 7's forever.

Do you plan on releasing a connection harness type wiring in the future? I just got these wired up, and realized that I may not try the neck/bridge combination juxtaposed (bridge in neck, vice versa)

I love Frank. SO fucking much. He made my RG7420 so many millions times more awesome. The woody may suck, but man, you struck gold with Blackouts
