Frequently asked questions
Can I use the AB After Burner with my current guitar without modifications?
The AB replaces either your tone knob or volume knob, so minimal modification is needed—it's designed as a direct swap for existing controls. Installation involves removing your current pot and installing the push/pull AB in its place.
Is the Conversion Kit suitable for beginners?
Yes. The kit is solderless, making it beginner-friendly, though it does require basic guitar electronics knowledge to remove old wiring and install the new harness. The included tuner is a helpful bonus.
What's the main difference in what these do?
The AB After Burner is a boost circuit that adds gain to your signal (like a solo volume boost). The Conversion Kit is a complete wiring harness for rewiring a guitar with three active pickups—they solve completely different problems.
Do I need both products?
Not necessarily. They serve different purposes: choose the AB if you want a boost effect on your existing guitar, or the Conversion Kit if you're upgrading to three active pickups. You could use both if you're also adding a boost to a newly rewired guitar.
