How do you replace a pickup? I lost sound on the bridge
I know to do a continuity test, then solder whatever needs it, but that’s it. What about what gauge wire, what kind of solder (I was told 64somethingcrazynumber) anyways....my bridge pickup died on me, the top two selectors work, but the bottom just buzzes. Any help? Or just dive right in?
Before trying to replace, you may just want to check all of your connections. Heat the solder on the pots and the switch, hold the wire in place and let it cool (it will only take a few seconds to cool).
As for solder, I use a .020", with a rosin core for this type of application. For wiring, I use a 24 gauge copper stranded.
