Can I use this connector instead of the whole GK kit.

I finally managed to add the GK-3 internal into my Fender VG Stratocaster.  Amazing sound(s) and versatility now.

Has anyone else done this ?

Yes, you could, but it wouldn't work...

Even acknowledging that I have vested interests in 13-pin jacks, there is more to it than just fitting one to the edge of your guitar...you need the GK3 mainboard, some of the controls, and an (internal) y-cable to connect the existing hex pickup to TWO separate (and very different) systems..and even then, there is going to be:

A) a lot of work

B) a danger of frying something important if you don't know what you are doing...

The actual 13-pin jack is the easiest bit of the whole deal...read this complete thread in detail before doing / buying anything..
