Pickup changing

[Roubster]

I dont know if this was asked before, but it's a quick one. I'm gonna change pickups next week on my Silo h-s-h. Will I have to do the sodering, or is it the clip on stuff with the wiring??? I am actually still not sure what I want to put in the neck position tho. I'm going with the Breed in the bridge, just to let you guys know.

It will be soldering. Get out your iron!

Thanx man. That's all I needed to know. I'd much rather learn to do it myself than freakin pay these guys in repair stores 120 bucks for that. My brother could probably do a better job at it than some of those people. One time I had my pick ups changed at a Guitar Center, and they OVERHEATED the Volume pot. I dont even know WHY they would be doin that. I had to have the whole pot replaced. Bastards. I dont trust anybody but me with my guitars, AND EBMM of course !

Robuster-

Soldering is really easy to do- definitely worth learning how do to it right, that way you can change things up at a moments notice!

Get a low-wattage iron and practice on some spare wire/old pots/etc.

Yea man, I'm just gonna practice on my piece of CRAP Ibanez guitar. It WAS my first guitar, but it really sux. I got some spare pickups from the other Ibi .
