google " soldering tips". Read about how to make good joints. It's not hard just can be tricky. If ya got any broken radios,alarm clocks, whatever use it's board to practice 1st. You want the solder to flow over the connection not ball.I always clean up the leads & part where I'm soldering to 1st.I just like to make sure I sand off any oxidaion.Use sandpaper,steelwool or even a needle file just to make sure you're to bare metal.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance eadgber https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/soldering-noob/#post-300079 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/soldering-noob/#post-299977 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 15:51:34 +0000 Im also about to install new pickups on my guitar.

BTW, here's a link to some soldering equipment: http://store.guitarfetish.com/soirandac.html
I cannot vouch for this hardware directly, as I've had my own equipment for many years. But Guitar Fetish is easy to work with. If you had an issue with what they sell you, I believe they would make it right.

Many makers, such as Seymour Duncan and Guitar Fetish, supply printed diagrams in the package. If they don't, the maker will supply diagram on request -- usually via email or web site. Pup wiring is color coded. But even so, those who are not good with diagramatic directions may find the info confusing. It helps if you understand the concepts of how pots and switches work, as well as coil tapping and phase reversal, as the last two usually are cited as wiring options.

This is Seymour Duncan's wiring info web page: http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/
Choose your pup types and desired wiring config (number of pots, tapping, phasing, switch positions) and go!]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/soldering-noob/#post-293892
