Re: Is everyone an electrical engineer!?

I did some basic soldering when I was in school (we made solder balls) but that was it.

Im no electrical engineer so I just bought s soldering iron, the correct solder, the parts I needed and downloaded a wiring diagram off Seymour Duncans website and had a go! The first one I did was a singlue humbucker, single volume and treble bleed. Took me forever to do it!....I then put a new switch in my mates Vintage VS100 for free just to get some practice.

After some practice youll be wiring in time. Swapping out caps, changing pots, full re-wires, changing pups, coil splits, treble bleeds, jack changes....you name it.

Stick at it and youll prevail!

I like to use the wiring diagrams on Seymour Dunans website cos they come in colour.
