RS Guitarworks: How To Assemble RS Vintage Kit

[dandorledo]

Hi,I have it installed on my Bonamassa Epi LTD Paul and it works perfectly:no problems at all...but I bought the pre-wired RS Kit (used but like new...)the modern one and just put it in place of the old pots;I kept the input jack wiring and just soldered the PUPS and The Mass(bridge)wiring...That was quite easy to do...If You ordered the kit but appart ,you have to follow this video...Regards.Dan

@dandorledo Did you ever get the kit installed? I ordered the same kit but RS is super skimpy on the braided wire even thought the kit cost close to 100 bucks. I should have mneasured it before but I would guess they included about 20 inches in the kit. If you run short you can usually pick up 5 feet of the braided/shielded cloth style push back wire like the incluse in the kit for about 6 dollars shipped to your door on Ebay. Way way way cheaper and just as good or better.

1) Never flow the solder in by touching it to the soldering iron itself.

2) Never remelt solder without added flux. It allows the solder to oxidize making a weaker connection.

3) Never hold the iron on the joint after you've removed the solder. Same reason as #2. Once the solder's not smoking, there's no flux.

What kind of solid wire are you using for the groundings?

I´ve been looking everywhere for it.

What Solder are you using?

[wayne5354]

there are only 2 ground wires on my pre-wired kit. one from neck tone to neck volume, and other from bridge tone to bridge volume. yours have one from neck tone to bridge tone, which i don't have!!! do i have to add it on my wiring?

Great video, though it would be great to see a followup video showing the control assembly being installed into a Les Paul and then hooking up the pickups and output jack.

Isn't that the old theme song from the YouTuber, sxephil?

[tehorix789]

@tehorix789 Or maybe that's a stock song on some video editing software?

Why do you touch the solder?
