Changing pickups without wasting strings? - PRS DGT SE

I always do that -either loosen them if they are long enough, or with locking tuners, loosen the strings, unlock the tuners and pull them out. When done, pull them in, lock the tuners and retune.

I also have a long wire which I solder to one of the pickup's connectors. Then I pull out the pickup, thereby pulling the wire from the electronics cavity through the pickup hole. When I solder the new pickup to the wire, I pull on the wire (slowly!) so that the pickup connectors come to the electronics cavity. In most cases I can swap neck pickups without removing the bridge pickup doing it this way.

Cheers Stephan
