They come with 2 and4 wires. Unless it specifically states 4 wire I would assume the more common 2 wire.

Hi Beth,I believe it depends on which version, try looking at this page http://www.wired.com/2008/11/official-guitar/

It does come with a cable that is wired into the pickup. It's a nice length and I played it as is for a while. I later bought a quarter inch jack, cut off the end of the cable and soldered it to the jack. It acts like an acoustic/electric now. I had someone commenting on the quality of the sound just last night.

Hey Ryan. It's what you would call a passive pickup, meaning there is no battery or power source attached to the pickup. It is essentially "always on" once plugged into a 1/4 inch cable. There is no on board volume or tone controls either. I personally already owned a really good preamp / direct box that I run the guitar through. It's an LR Baggs Paracoustic DI. I'm sure Amazon has a great deal on one. Or you could use an acoustic amp, the EQ settings on your PA or run it straight without a preamp. Either way, I'm a fan of this pickup. I have on in my Taylor DN4 and my '49 Gibson LG-3. I really like it. Feel free to ask any other questions. Hey Ryan.

Well I have it pushing four 6.5 component speakers which is four tweeters and four mid range woofers and two 6x9s and it still seems like it has power to spare. I wired the back two doors with the 6x9s making the ohm rating 2. All of my speakers have 4 ohm ratings. That's the important part. This amp can be wired down to two ohms. Basically if you put two 4 ohm speakers on one channel it becomes 2 ohms. I would say you wont have a problem with this thing. I would say wire the 3.5 and tweeters with your front 2 doors and wire the rear doors with the 6x9s. That is basically my setup minus the 3.5 Well I have it pushing four 6.5 component speakers which is four tweeters and four mid range woofers and two 6x9s and it still seems like it has power to spare.

Nature of the beast; P90 pickups are single coil. And single coil are subject to picking up 60 cycle interference (hum) from nearby appliances, fluorescent lights, power lines, etc. Two coils can be wired so they cancel the hum, so middle position of the switch is quieter. And that's what humbucker pickup are; two single coil pickups wired together out-of-phase to cancel 60 cycle interference and used as a single pickup. When its really bad, try moving around the room to find a quieter spot away from the 60 cycles.

Some kind of stock humbuckers, they're okay. As long as you've got it wired right they sound pretty decent for the price, but I've since upgraded mine

Yes, these are standard wired speakers. Latest and greatest sound systems today use the same "old fashioned wire system". Just saying.

No, it is dual humbucker, which is different than your typical Jazz or Precision pickup combos.

I have purchased both the single coil and humbucker versions. Both have 8-10 foot cords captive at the pickup and terminated in 1/4" phone plugs [regular guitar plugs]. BTW, the single coil sounds brighter, but will pick up noise from dimmers, other amps [!] and even the microwave in another room, but on the same circuit. The humbucker is VERY quiet.

Hi, if you are asking if this is an original 1957 PAF Gibson Humbucker, the answer is obviously NO! It is my understanding that this pickup is Gibson's reissue version of the Gibson 57 Classic Humbucker. I hope this helps... :)

Does a strat have a different PL input? This is a normal PL "jack" input. Should fit any guitar or bass in my opinion

yes it will, but you may end up with hum, it is a tube preamp, it does have a bass guitar setting. you can return it, so hell try it.

Hi !Of course : all the humbuckers size the same dimension ; for the sound, it sound pretty good : I don't play metal nor hard rock, just blues and rock & jazz !... Good work ! :)

No - the EQ is Fixed. 2 rca plugs in and 2 out and that's it. BTW are you related to Richard Dyer-Bennet the Folk Music Performer/Archivist? I can understand why you might have some 78's to play. ND

Yes, it comes in as one piece wired and ready to hook up to your amp.. This sub is well made and sounds great right out the box.

It can be wired as a 2 channel OR 4 channel. It cannot be used as a 1 channel tho..... Best I can tell there isn't a way. I use it to power a 12" mid bass & 15" low pass in my sons truck and it does a pretty good job. If I could run it 1 channel I would use it just on the 15" because as a two channel I think it's leaving a little on the table. Nice amp for the $$$ tho.
