Re: any way to change the wires
I do it quite a bit however if you have not done it then here is what you will be in for.
1- remove cover 2-remove surround tape 3-carefully pull the bobbins off so you have access to the solder joints . 4-remove wire off leads without breaking the wire " generally there is so much wax on some pups that finding these are next to impossible once they break. 5- solder your new wire on and reverse the steps. If you don't have backups for the pickup then I wouldn't do it. It can be a pain. I can do it in about 5 minutes but when I started I can't tell you how many I "f" up
