  • will it affect the sound of the guitar if the melted solder wires melt onto each other?

  • @rkey16 Yes, it will as you may short the circuit

  • hey shaglig, i live in kl, malaysia too. wanna ask how much u got the set for in ringgit? and where u get it.

  • @allstarz69z I got these sets in US but you can get it at Bentley's or The Guitar Store

  • Damn, did you burn up any of the potentiometers?

  • @The1970sInfatuate The guitar was still making noise at the end of this exercise so they should be ok.

  • Next time don't forget to play a bit so we get to hear the sound too!

  • @GuitarLordChels thxs man, they sound awesome sence i got them installed. ill have to make a video for you guys

  • Sweet video! I'm getting my PRS changed tomorrow with new Seymour Duncans!

  • @shazlig Yeah, most likely. You still have to be quick with all the soldering though. The iron has to be good and hot for the solder to melt fast. You just put small dabs of solder on the potentiometer lugs and connect the wires and quickly remove the iron from the part to avoid burning it. Sometimes if you're soldering ground wires to the back of pots, it is helpful to scuff up the metal surface. It helps the solder adhere better to have a rough surface.

  • @ravenshield56 It is a very cheap Onyx Les Paul copy

  • @GuitarLordChels Yup, these pickups were designed for Jeff Beck and Seymour Duncan uses them too. Metallica used to use them and Dave Mustaine's Livewire pickups are based on these hot rodded pickups.
