dopple Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 Not sure if this should be in this section but as a prospective guitar doer-uper I was wondering how easy it is once you've taken the electronics out of the body to sand/finish/etc how easy it is to get them back in. Do you have to solder or can you twist and tape the wires back together? Would that sound crap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithHowell Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Yes you have to solder! Twisting and taping is OK to test but will almost certainly give you trouble down the line. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StratDudeDan Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 yeah...solder... and from a standpoint of someone who was there years ago. YES! TAKE OUT THE ELECTRONICS! i will never EVER try and do that again. it is so much easier to put them back in than to try and either spray around them, mask them, or whatever. pull the SOB's out and put 'em back when you're done. you'll also learn a lot more that way. like...wiring basics and soldering.

daveq Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Don't forget also (while you're in there clipping away) that only a handful of wires will need to be cut and re-soldered. Any inter-connecting wires between pots, ... can and probably should be left as is. I know it's an obvious one but sometimes those clippers have a way of getting carried away!
