Guitar Pickup install

there are a few steps how to install guitar pickups, and certainly very useful for you, and I myself have tried with my first guitar, and also I found from a source, of course I am very grateful for installing the pickup on my guitar was perfect, steps are as follows along with the video from youtube.com.

Things You'll Need

  • Small Phillips and a small flat head screw driver
  • Electrical tape (optional)
  • Soldering pencil (10-25W)
  • Solder with rosin center
  • Steady Hand
  • A pair of wire stripers

  1. First, remove the electrical cover which is on the back of guitar.
  2. Next, remove the solder from the hot and ground wires from the pickup that you will be replacing. Don’t forget where they were(you need to draw a basic schematic) : the new pickup’s hot and ground will be connected here!
  3. Unless you want to try “fishing” wires through precisely drilled holes, taping a guide string or small gauge wire to the ends of the hot and ground will save you much frustration.
  4. Take out the two screws on either side of the old pickup. Now gently remove it, making sure you leave enough guide string on both sides.
  5. When you buy new pickups they come with a wiring diagram. Use this diagram to distinguish which color represents the hot and ground. Then tape them to the guide string. Be sure to pull from the back, or electrical side of the guitar.
  6. Once you have pulled through the new wires, solder them to their necessary places.
  7. Finally, secure the new pick up and replace the electrical cover.
  8. Congratulations! You have just installed your first replacement pickup.
