Which wiring is available for 2 conductor gibson pickups

Hey everyone

Just wondering what wiring mods are available for 2 conductor gibson pickups and what they. I have a epi les paul std. and I play blues, rock and roll and hard rock but that's as heavy as I get. I'm upgrading my pickups and I thought since my guitar will be there to look at upgrading the wiring. I really wanted the Jimmy page wiring but the pickups I'm getting only has two conductors. So I'm looking for an alternative or maybe just an upgrade. Thanks alot. My pickups will either be 57 classics and/or burstbucker pro's.

You could mod the pickup itself to 4 conductor, just buy the new wire... It can be a bit tricky but its not that hard...

As far as mods for 2 conductor pickups, I suggest you start by looking at the 50s vs modern threads that have been popping up around here and maybe some series/parallel switching, but I dont remember seeing any discussions about this here lately...

Cheers
André
