I saw something on TV today, with somebody telling a younger person that the difference between a wise man and a fool was that a wise man learns from the mistakes of others, but a fool learns by making all the mistakes himself.
Personally, I think a fool is anyone who just doesn't learn anything from his or anyone else's mistakes, but that's a whole 'nother thread. :wink:

There's a link on the left side of their main page, "Lessons from Seymour on How to Install Pickups."
here's the Powerhouse if you want a look...

its just what i want really; it has a perloid pickguard, its in graffiti yellow and its a strat! its just the pickups i was thinking of changing but im not too sure.Niiiiiice. I didn't know Fender was making Strats with the "midboost thing" already in them. That must be where the Deluxe Powerhouse name comes from.
I'd bet that the stock singlecoils in those would be pretty good, but one reason to change them would be to install SC-sized humbuckers. And then you'd just have to go nutz and install series/parallel/coil cut switches and other mods. :lol:
Anyway, "measure twice, cut once." :wink:]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Doug_C https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/removing-volume-knobs/#post-189686 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/removing-volume-knobs/#post-189678 Mon, 17 Jul 2006 19:57:32 +0000 could swap 'em, if for some reason you want something different than the original pups. The Seymour Duncan site even has a video tutorial on changing pickups.
The Deluxe Powerhouse is a new name to me, so I don't know what's in one for stock pups, but you might want to do some research and compare them to the ones you were thinking about for replacements. The stock pups (EMGs, I think) in my Johnson JS-050-¾ turned out to be a little hotter than some "aftermarket" ones I'd looked at: 7.64K for the neck. So the current ones are staying, for now, anyway. (I don't know yet if they're wax potted or not.)
If you do change them, just be aware of little things like wiring color codes, etc. :wink: hey, thanks i'll check out that website.
