Brian Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 You can do that or use a soldering iron and remove them carefully if your planing on using the original electronics again. If you cut the wires in the middle be sure to mark each end, in my earlier days I used to just splice them back together and while it will work I wouldn't recommend it because problems can arrise.

jefm Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Depends on how the guitar is put together...I'm guessing these aren't mounted to the pick guard... I'm guessing you're removing the controls... I'm guessing that if you're planning on wiring it the original way all you have to do is remove the controls and probably desolder the pickup wires...then put them all back in when it's been finished...or even do it that way just to get it out quicker and desolder them later while you watch the paint dry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
