How hard is it to get 50's wiring from Modern?

[banditguitarist1]

So my Studio has the modern wiring with no PCB and I have nothing to do and would really like a 50's wiring I got the diagram online here

Gibson Wiring Diagrams - Wiring Library - Schematics

What I'm interested in knowing is how hard is it to do and what do I have to move, Im just a little nervous that I'm gonna mess something up inside!

So help me out and reassure me a little bit before my first endeavor with soldering, beyond repairing broken solder joints.

If you have a wiring diagram and a soldering iron, all you need is nerve. Good luck!

Thanks Dennis, I'm gonna take the dive and start out on this with my grandfather. I'm pretty sure that if I mess up the soldering it wont destroy anything and the diagrams seem pretty clear.

If you mess up, it can always be fixed. Just go for it!

Take your time, clear a space, and make sure that you have something to protect your guitar from the iron and dripping solder (such as towels). Good luck.

Always best to draw a diagram of the wiring BEFORE you do mods, this way if you get confused there is a layout of what you had to begin with.
