2 Quick Connect adapters for Epiphone "2 wire"
harness
This is the
"2 wire" style Quick Connect that Epiphone, Gretsch and Guild use in some of their guitars.
Made from high quality 24 AWG 11 strand tinned copper wire and is about 3 inches long.
It comes with heat shrink tubing.
You can use these connectors to connect pretty much any pickup from any company to an Epiphone "2 wire" quick connect harness.
Shielded 1 wire, 2 wire, 3 wire, 4 wire and 5 wire pickups will all work with these connectors.
I included a few soldering and color code diagrams in the photos above to cover the basics.
Options
-If you want the quick connect wires to match your pickup's color code (so they line up color to color when soldering), I can do that for you.
Photo #3 shows a few different color code examples.

Quick ’n Dirty Tips
(always use safety glasses when working with tools)
Even if you have an expensive stripper 😃, sometimes it can still be tricky to remove insulation without a nicking a wire.
When using strippers, j
ust use them to make the cut.
Then pull the insulation off with your fingers.
Don't use the strippers to yank the insulation off!
If you don't have or don't feel like buying wire strippers, here's a couple of alternative stripping methods you might find helpful.
Method 1
Mark a straight line across the part of the wires that you want to strip with a marker
Hold a non serrated butter knife or utility razor blade upside down (or a similar non sharp piece of metal with pliers)
Heat the butter knife or non sharp side of the razor blade with a lighter or
mini/pen torch
Place one wire at a time on a flat surface
Put the hot blade on the marked line of the wire and
Twist the wire under it while pushing the blade forward
There should be a perfect line melted around the insulation now
Pull the little bit of insulation off
You should be good to go
Method 2
Hold the wire in one hand
Run the part of the wire that you want to strip over the flame of a cigarette lighter for 1 second or less (yes, literally 1 second or less)
In a quick manner, pull the piece of insulation right off   (the piece you pull off will be hot, so drop it right away)
You should be good to go
Practice these methods on some scrap wire first, then practice on the ends of the quick connect wire.
If you use these alternative stripping methods, it's of your own free will and I'm not responsible for screw ups.
