gjones Posted May 6, 2012 Posted May 6, 2012 Aaaaah! Just bought a set of DiMarzios after cancelling my order for a set of customer shop fender pickups that never arrived after 7 weeks of waiting. Bad timing for me but good luck with the sale.
jackjazz Posted May 8, 2012 Author Posted May 8, 2012 [quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1336472123' post='1645966'] Where are the wires for the pickups? [/quote] They are connected to the volume controls. You can see them in the pictures.
steve-soar Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Hi Jackjazz. When removing pickups, you need to unsolder the wires from the volume and tone pots so as to keep them attatched to the pickups. The copper wire which is wound around the pickups is extremely fine and very difficult to successfully attatch to the wires for the controls. You may have inadvertently ruined your pickups.

Ou7shined Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 If you haven't attempted a self repair yet, my offer still stands.

[/quote] I've unsoldered and resoldered, with reckless abandon, the wires from the pickups over the years without any adverse effects. I've never heard that before, but it makes sense I suppose. I'm tempted to buy but I don't have a need for them ATM. Good luck with the sale.
Stacker Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 The terminals on the pups should be ok. I've never heard of a pup going dead from the internal hot or cold dropping off after excessive solder heat but I'll bet it's happened loadsa times. Always unsolder (or snip off) from the pots.
