Quick Connectors

Why don't more companies make quick connectors for their pickups so that pickups can be quickly swapped in and out, like how EMG does it? Wouldn't it be fairly simple to create them?

don't seymour duncan blackouts have them? Which is an ultimate slap to the face of EMG's. "Hey we've made pickups that fix every problem your pickups have, and made them easy to replace your pickups with."

A soldered connection is more secure, and a better conductor, and it's also cheaper to just have the wire

You could make some yourself, so you could do quick connecting, if you're a dab-hand with a soldering iron, it wouldn't take 10mins to do

EMGs also have quick connectors. But either way, they are not completely solderless, you will need to solder certain connections in the wiring if they don't come pre soldered(probably so).

Yeah I thought of the same thing, making a quick solderless connector would be pretty easy and cheap to do, but I think it simply wouldn't conduct too well/break too easily, plus you need to ground the chassis of the pots in the guitar, and switch, and you simply need to have the leads soldered to the jack, so a 100% solderless guitar circuit would be nearly impossible to make let alone be reliable.

Just get a 7$ 30W pen-style iron and learn how to do it, it's probably the best thing I've learned how to do in the past few years.
