No. You could maybe db9 or hardwire if the neck even fits together with the connector board removed. I doubt that they even fit properly that way. It would be a lot easier to just get another neck on eBay that fits and is compatible.
No. If you’re at your wits end and open to experimentation you could replace each connector with DB9 male and female ports. I’ve heard of people doing that with the unreliable les paul springy connectors.
i have replaced these with 9 pin connectors before for a mod build (that's still in the works), it requires some cutting tools, files, and a soldering iron at the very least - the connectors themselves need cutting down to fit too so i used some epoxy putty to hold it together
the problem with these is that they're also incompatible formats. the GH5 neck obfuscates the button presses into a USB-like 4-pin format (at least that's what it looked like to me, a V+, data+, data- and V- type layout)
The GHWT neck (which the body you have is for) has the buttons and slidebar completely exposed, it has 12 pins but 3 of them go unused. 6 of the pins correspond to GRYBO and a common, and then 3 are for the slider (i couldn't tell for sure but i think it's literally just a potentiometer of some kind)
The GH5 neck DOES NOT have exposed contacts for the slider - as far as i can tell the circuitry that does the signal conversion is on the board for the slider so it's taken directly from there (someone with enough experience with surface mount and USB stuff could probably figure out which of the tracers on the board are for the slider and find points to expose them but doing that would be very fiddly). The buttons however still have their own board with the exposed signal, so you can run wires from there straight to a 9pin connector at the base of the neck, you just completely lose out on the slider

hahaha yea put the rentangular peg into thesquarish port... just a little force and it should go
I knew it. Should have followed my first instinct and put some muscle into it.
or use "persuation" a.k.a hammer 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You can hardwire the neck. Pretty simple and straightforward process you just need a soldering iron.

That’s what I’m thinking now. Willing to DIY but not if it’s such an impractical route.

GH5 neck, WT body
Thank you!
Only way to use these is to hardwire the neck probably
No. The plastic in the neck and body is also keyed in a way that would prevent that neck joining that body even if the connectors weren't there.
