soldering

Hello, I ordered a set of Mojotone PW Hornets and wanted to attempt to install them myself; however, I'm finding myself to be overwhelmed in understanding what's actually going on here. I have a basic understanding of pots and switches but have never installed pickups before and all the...

Hello all, I have a switching or pickup issue with my tremonti SE. In the bridge and middle positions the sound is absolutely fine and doesn't drop out. If I switch to the neck position i will either have very intermittent sound or no sound at all. My guesses are that I've either got a bad...

Trying to replace the unreliable switch on my Zach Myers, and I can’t get the darn thing desoldered! What the heck do they use? I’ve got a 400°F iron (this Solomon from StewMac) and am trying to wick the solder off to no avail. I’d cut the wires but there’s zero slack, and I’d have to rewire...

Just purchased some Lollar Imperials and I am comfortable enough with the soldering, but I have no idea what wires are supposed to be soldered to what lugs. For now, I plan on keeping the wiring schematic the same as it is not with the 85/15 humbuckers (unless someone recommends changing it). I...

I'm having trouble with the ground wire from the stop tail bridge breaking off from the solder joint as I reposition the pickguard to close up the guitar. I am new at this and am trying to learn. I am replacing the volume pots with core ones and thought the soldering went well. I am soldering...

Hi, as in the title I'm looking to install a push/pull pot in my 2016 Custom 22 SE. I believe a few of this model were installed with PP pots but not all of them, and apparently I got the latter. Inside the cavity there are 2 loose sets of white and green wires coming off the pickups, which I...

Hey guys, Newbie, so forgive me if this is in the wrong place. My PRS SE 245 - beautiful guitar - is about to get a whole new load of electronics. (A treat from me to me.) Previously, it had solderless EMGs in. New electronics are all passive, traditional soldered. I've just realised that...

Hi all, New to the forum and new to doing work myself, but I'll be damned if I don't try to learn how to take care of my own instrument. I'm decent with a soldering iron, so why not replace my own pickups? The issue is, I can't seem to find any wiring diagrams for putting in my 4-conductor SD...
