Sugizo Posted June 24, 2005 Report Posted June 24, 2005 Hey everybody... I'm building my first guitar, and it was all going pretty smooth until I bought some humbucking pickups, the bridge was fine, but the neck(used) had a broken wire/solder to the ground... and a few moments later from stupid accidents... etc... I got two bobbins with a lot of wire on them and some poles and a magnet... I don't want to get a pro to fix it because it'll probably cost as much as I bought these... I looked at a bunch of sites with tutorials on winding/rewinding/repairing/modding pickups but I haven't found a site that explained things clearly(I guess you could say I'm pretty slow at learning) So I was wondering if there was a diagram or something that shows what wire goes where and so on... But even than, one bobbin(with the adjustable poles) I can only see one free wire, and I cant quite find the other one... The other one looks pretty fine to me... So can I like cut a wire to make another end to join the two bobbins? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote
daniboy Posted June 24, 2005 Report Posted June 24, 2005 it can be done with fine soldering skills. you will need to find the other end of the wire. what pickup do you have in hand? different manufacturer uses different color code if you are intending to wire a 4-conductor cable to your pickup.
