2009年4月29日 · Pfft. I have a soldering station and I still use my Rat Shack 15/30w switchable pencil iron for really small stuff. It has a super pointy tip and my soldering station iron doesn't. It has what they call a pencil tip but it's rounded. I have a spare for it, so I may sharpen it with my Dremel and see how long the point lasts.

2014年6月8日 · Please DON'T just wrap the wire around the terminals, even though it will work for a while, eventually it will vibrate loose and cause problems. Soldering wires to speaker terminals is one of the easiest soldering jobs to do, but if you don't want to solder then get some crimp-on spade connectors and use them to connect the speaker.

2010年2月2日 · If your soldering to the back/bottom of the pot (not the little tabby things) rough it up a bit first, scratch it with a screw driver or hit it with a bit of sand paper..(remember to clean it off after) and you will find the solder will flow a lot easier.

2014年6月27日 · In older electronic devices (including most vintage Fender amps), vulcanized fiberboard eyelet boards were often used to mount the electronic components. They require hand insertion of the various parts and hand soldering, so considerable human labor is involved with this manufacturing approach. Fiberboards have their share of issues.

2009年4月23日 · Working on a tele project and I am sitting here soldering it. Bought a SD Vintage Stack single coil and a SD lil '59 humbucker. One diagram shows the ground coming off the tone pot and going to the bridge, the other diagram shows is coming off the volume pot. Which diagram is right, and does it r...

2008年3月7日 · you can crimp it with some sort of blade or bullet connector im guessing, but im honestly gonna say soldering is normally the best way that your wire doesnt disconnect at the connection point, i also dont know if it will affect tone or anything cuz ive never done it before... maybe someone else could further help you with any problems with that decision good luck

2006年11月26日 · They will work as long as you use connectors of the appropriate wire gause, but as said before.. they will occupy a lot of space in your electronics cavity. Soldering will provide a much neater and more secure connection. Also, as far as changing pickups out again later, butt connectors will waste just as much or more wire.

2008年6月22日 · I have decided to go for the MIM Classic Player 50 strat and I'm expecting to not fall in love with the one-ply white pickguard. I'm useless with a soldering iron. Is it possible to buy a fitting 8 screw PG (tortoise shell ) and simply remove …

2008年8月22日 · Right, to start, i know how to wire up all the wires coming from the pickup, so forget about that part. All i need to know is what should i do for the solder, the blob of solder which is usually on the bottom of the pot, where do i put that on this? Because of the big push/pull mechanism on the b...

2007年1月9日 · I need to solder speaker cable to my speaker, will this set off a smoke alarm? I really would rather not be the cause of the fire department coming down and get the wardens in my dorm all pissy.
