Re: For the guitar geeks among us...
I've got my new pickups in. And very nice they are too. Much fatter sounding than the Silver Lace pickups and a bit hotter too. Almost in humbucker territory, but not quite.
I even managed to do it with next to no swearing (except when a bit of hot solder leapt of the iron at my finger!). This I think is due to
A) My experiences rewiring the Epiphone
B) A properly tinned soldering iron (And those Maplin Soldering Stations are far better than just a soldering iron imho)
C) A bit more patience in general.
I did manage to wire my neck tone pot backwards, but it still works. Orange Drop capacitors really improve the sound on the tone control too- far smoother and the same for CTS pots- stiffer (oo-er mum!), but a far smoother control on the volume/tone.
I will be posting pictures when I can be @rsed and maybe a recording.
Once again, a very happy D. Now to get the frets levelled and it'll be lovely!
