![]() To remove a wire: get a tiny bit of solder on the tip of the iron, hold it to the connection and wait until the solder melts, then use a probe or pliers to remove the wire. It will burn the palm of your hand so bad, you will lose sleep because it feels like your hand is in a jar full of poisonous jellyfish. BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS DANGEROUS TOOL. After burning myself a few times years ago, I learned to respect the tool and to be very careful, and haven't burned myself in many years. Also, if you touch the hot soldering iron, your skin will burn into bubbling blisters that hurt really bad. If you are new to soldering, the key is patience. Wire cutters -Soldering probe tool thing (has paid for itself a thousand times) -Delsoldering braid -Razor blade (for stripping the ends of wires) -Alligator clip extra pair of hands thing (also paid for itself many times over) -Lead free rosin core solder -Electrical tape -Wet rag (to wipe soldering iron tip)įor this step, I removed everything I didn't need, and cleaned all the contacts so there was a little hole I could put the new wire in. Tools Used: -40 Watt pencil type soldering iron (maybe overkill, but works fast, and I'm not worried about frying any capacitors for this one). The guitar in this case is a Jagmaster, but this would also work on many other 2 pickup/2 knob guitars that have a 3 way toggle switch. I like to keep the neck pickup at a lower volume for cleaner sound coming through my tube amp, and the bridge pickup on ten for more output at the flick of a switch. I like to keep one volume on zero so the toggle switch becomes an on/off, and can also be used for stuttering, killswitch-type effects. I rarely use the tone knob on any guitar. ![]() This is my favorite setup for guitar wiring because: 1. For this project, I am converting a two humbucker guitar with one volume and one tone into one that has a volume for each pickup and no tone control. It will soon be going on the Fabric Stencil Guitar. This is the pick guard from my last project, The Skateboard Guitar.
