I am no Pro, but I have done this a bunch of times so I have learned a ton through reading about the subject and watching other people's videos.

I hope that this helps someone else. Feel free to post any questions in the comments I'll do my best to answer them.

  • Hi, good video. Are you going to to a review video with the new pickup installed? Inquiring minds want to know, How does it sound?

  • @terrymcp Thanks. I sold the guitar to a friend a while back. The Angus sounds great though.

  • Horrible soldering technique. That flux is there for a reason, and if you evaporate it all before you make the joint, you will make dry joints. Also, Never, ever "paint" with the iron. If solder does not want to flow, dragging it will not create a joint. To solder, 1. Make the joint mechanically secure before you start. 2. Touch the solder to the joint. 3. Apply the iron and feed the solder in until the joint is complete. 4. Remove the iron, and move nothing until the joint has set.

  • @donepearce Thanks for the comment. Sounds like you know what you are talking about. I never had any actual soldering education; I just learned as I went. All my solder joints hold tightly despite my poor technique though.

  • would you recommend the angus humbuckers or the gibson 57 classic plus? idk which one to get!!!!!

  • @mparrapsp I guess that depends on what amp you have. I think of it like this; if your amp has a lot of treble and gain on board then I like to go with a lower output pickup like the '57 classic. If I am running an amp with less on board gain and treble then I like how higher output pickups sound. If your amp is solid state I would personally go with the '57s since they may make you tone a bit warmer and your gain less fizzy.

    I started playing guitar about 8 years ago as a hobby. Back then, I bought an acoustic guitar for it's simplicity and warmth and learned the basics. Being self-taught, I am no rock star, I just enjoy the instrument. My ability hit a plateau and I started to get bored\discouraged with the guitar. I decided to buy an electric because I ...

  • lol ya gotta try this at home how else will kids learn?Just not on my axe lol.

  • @buckster7777 Glad to help. One more thing though. I would get all that beautiful lacquer covered with a cloth before allowing solder near it. If a wire flicks, solder splashes, and it burns straight through.

  • Awesome video!! Thanks man!!
