Frequently asked questions
Which one is easier to install?
The AB is simpler—it's a single push/pull pot swap. The Conversion Kit requires full harness installation but uses solderless connections, so no soldering iron is needed, though the job is more involved.
Can I use the AB with active pickups?
Yes, the AB works with both active and passive pickups. The Conversion Kit, however, is specifically designed for active pickups only.
What if my guitar doesn't have three pickups?
The Conversion Kit is built for 3-pickup configurations only. If your guitar has fewer pickups, it will not fit your needs. The AB works with any single-volume, single-tone guitar setup.
Does the kit come with everything I need?
Yes—the kit includes volume pots, tone pots, output jack, battery clip, all cables, selector switch, and a bonus chromatic tuner. The AB is only the boost pot; you keep your existing controls and wiring.
