Pretty on the inside...

[Starscream]

So. I went exploring today, in the cavity of my 50's Tribute SG. Talk about odd!! Like nothing I've seen before. Is...is that a chipboard in there? And clip-like connectors? And what's that green dip-switch looking thing? Does it actually switch something? Pretty different from what I've seen inside guitars before.

Anyone?

*so, can you tell I'm new to my SG yet? lolz

Uhm......... you have a "Modern" Gibson product.
Upside----swapping pickups is a SINCH with NO SOLDER required!
uhm...providing you buy the Gibson pups WITH the white connector clip

Like Min-e-tune.....some folks HATE the circuit board---some love it-- you will need to formulate your own opinions
and this takes -----wait for it---- HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS of work and practice and PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY
So ROCK THE FOOK OUT OF IT and see what happens lol

Neato!

What about that green piece (lol) that looks like a dipswitch, and maybe saves the whales, too. HA!

 

[Starscream]

Ps. I have Z E R O problems with the sound. It's just the curiosity.

 

[eS.G.]

LOL I ma not sure about the switch --post a pic ---I will make something up----

The screen printed headstock logo is for saving the whales.......so the switch maybe a counter balance for neck dive?

 

[Starscream]

Hahaha! Nice. I'll see if I can get a shot of it.

 

[Starscream]

K, not mine, but from the interwebs. It's that little green and orange bit on the left. Watch it not even be a switch. Lol. Whaddoiknow?!

i think that green switch thing is the Tailpiece ground disconect.

 

[Starscream]

I'll totally take your word for it. So. What's it do?

 

[JohnnyGoo]

well on most TOM and Stop tailpiece geetars theres a ground wire that runs from under the Tailpiece studs to the control cavity.on factory equiped guitars with Bigsbys i suspect the ground runs from under the bridge to control cavity.just a ground for the hardware

 

[syscokid]

That is so "cold-looking" in there...

 

[Hector]

Yep, that's the PCB (printed circuit board).
