Pickup Problem

[DeanM]

just to be more clear on what i meant....

connect the wire to be soldered where you want it. thru the lug, or in this case to the body of the pot. place the solder iron tip on the wire. let heat for a few seconds. 4r5. this will heat the wire and also the area of the pot it is touching because the heat will travel thru the wire into the pot. then press the solder touching both the wire and the pot....but not the iron. keep the solder pressed firmly until it starts to melt. keep pressing the solder in until the whole joint is covered. then remove solder and soldering iron and let joint cool!!

its kinda hard to explain!! but hope this helps for future reference!! i do electronics in college so iv gotten pretty handy at soldering!!

I'm new to soldering and had a really hard time with the pots also. This should help a lot. Thank you. Still would be easier with a third hand though. :lol:

Or a personel guitar tech!!! :lol: :lol:

anyway glad ta help!

What do you guys think about this Weller that goes from 5-40 watts?

[kissfanps]

I have it - works pretty well.

That looks like a nice one. Weller makes good ones, and the price is reasonable. It also got good reviews on amazon.

Yeah I have been thinking about getting it for awhile now, I have a bunch of different ones but you know how G.A.S goes, it can extend beyond pedals, guitars and amps to even soldering irons apparently, lol.
