stankyou Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 yeah if you are going to let say you are going to change a single coil pickup with a another single coil, i THINK that there wouldn't be any problem. im just not sure if you also need to consider changing the and tone knob of your guitar to compensate for the change in pick up.. you might not get the tone you are expecting to hear from your new pick up if you are not going to consider this. if you are going to put let say an active EMG humbucker pickup on your guitar, that would be a little tricky. those kits usually have their own volume and tone knobs along with it. that made me think that you may need to consider the ratings of the potentiometers on your guitar. my suggestion, try to go to a reputable guitar repair center and ask around before doing any modification.

saitohajime24 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Quick question: I'm planning on changing my guitar's pickups. Do I simply disconnect the wires from the old one and solder the wires from the new one? I'm assuming there are only two wires ( + and - ), or is there more to it? sorry but i have to comment on the previous post, it depends on the pick-ups involved...if it's humbuckers there is a polarity to be checked. the bad part is most pick-ups have different color coding, its not as simple as taking the previous Pu's then replace with the same color. the effect would be (if done incorrectly) your guitar will have a nasal sound because of the wrong polarity...the same can be applied with the way you want to make your PU's sound if you want them in series or parallel...there are a lot of factors to consider before replacing...my tip is to check the website of the Pu's that you will be installing as all of them have tips and wirinig diagrams you can use...trust me bro you don't want to mess up you guitar that way...soldering and resoldering (lets say you made a mistake) alone can damage your POTS, using a soldering iron more than 40W will damage you POTS, trust me i have been replacing pick ups on my guitar for over 10 years now...if you thing you cant handle it go to a luthier.
