Connectour - DIY Guitar Tone Wiring Connector

I happened upon your web-site, read what you mentioned about being in a quest to find tone, and thought that I would accept your invitation and contact you.

While searching for the tones that could be created by an Ibanez Artist, an idea came to me. The device was finally made and installed inside a Charvel 6 to attach the humbucker and the two single-coils. That was in 1996 and it has been working since.

Connectour was updated this year and we decided to ‘go live’.

• Connectour connects wires, and the posts of potentiometers, switches, capacitors, circuit-boards, etc.
• Its color-coded posts are springs and are ganged together in groups of three posts. When a person attaches a wire to one of the spring posts, the contact is made to the two other posts of that grouping without the use of a soldering iron.
• The posts are color-coded and are based on the colors that are used by pick-up manufactures.
• The spring posts allow pick-ups and other electronic components to be attached by using a pencil’s eraser to bend back the spring post, while inserting the wire of the component between the coils of the spring post. The user then releases the spring post and the connection will be as permanent until the user makes a change. The user can then make as many changes as he/she would like in order to find the desired tone of the instrument.
• The 39-pin unit fits in the main connection well, or underneath a double coil pickup. The 9 and 12 pin units are sized to fit under a single coil, making them useful for every guitar design.
• The posts color-coded also help with illustration of the schematic of the instrument’s circuit design (which can be placed underneath the cover of the Connectour). The Connectour is made of aluminum, polymer and steel springs to make the device as durable as the guitar in which it is placed.

As mentioned, I read your site and thought that it may be of interest to you as Connectour, was designed to help a guitarist who is in a quest for an instrument’s unique tone.
