SOLDER!
SOUL-DER
Or twist the wires together and then tape it with duct tape (unless active
pickups). Especially if you change pickups often
In total agreement with Charlie. Got a matching set of custom humbuckers
coming
from Seymour Duncan’s shop and the last thing I wanna do botch anything on
the
new pickups for “Jezebel” my newly acquired Gibby SG 60’s Tribute.(black
semi-gloss, block inlays)
The stock pickups are awesome but, Needs more Cowbell! My first new guitar.
Can’t wait!
Cheers Eveyone!
This video helped my tremendously when I changed my pickups the first time!
Thanks!
Question: Isn’t there any risk of burning the wires or electronics when
holding the iron against the wires or the back of the pot (or the solder on
it) for too long? Cause I’ve seen videos where they go “You have to be very
careful not to hold it for too long or you’ll burn the electronics.” or
whatever. And they recommend adding metal clamps to dissipate heat from the
wires or electronics. While here it’s just said to “Heat it up as long as
needed.”, which is… questionable… Hence why I ask… :P
So I finally Bought a JB for the bridge of my Ibanez… Came with diagram
but youtube is So much easier than reading…hehe So Here I am!! Wish me
luck :D
I wish I was only changing pickups, but I have to change all the
electronics as I’m going from active EMG’s to passive SD’s haha
great video! Thank you!
Anyone know how to remove a pickup and not replace it? I have an HSS strat
copy but I wanna take out the single coils
Also; What is the REASON that the screws are oriented in a specific way?
Is it because those are adjustable and they’re at the most “outer” location
then?
can you guys make a tutorial on how to coil split a seymour duncan pickup?
Why don’t you have connectors on the side of the pickup like EMG does?…
Is it a patenting-issue or something?
what would happen to the sound/dynamics if you put a lead/bridge humbucker
in the neck position ??
i have a seymour duncan pearly gates plus in the bridge running in
parallel. How do i get it to run in series?
Thank u soooo much
best video ever
u ROCK!!
just gonna say it. this guy has such a soothing voice.
Going to change to alnico 2 pro on the bridge and invader in the neck 😉 i
believe invader is four connector and alnico is old connector 😉 so glad im
using seymour duncan now!
i just bought a washburn dime and im throwing a dimebucker into it , is
there anything special I have to do or is this tutorial all I have to
follow?
Thanks man ! . Excellent explanation. I did it. !
This dude should do ASMR videos.
Alright. Sorry if what I’m asking is stupid sounding or if I missed
something in the video, but I have a problem. A bare wire from one pickup
is connected to the same from the other pickup, and connected to one side.
On the other side, a white wire from one connects to one place and the
white wore from the other connects to another. My guitar is an Epiphone Les
Paul Special II, if that helps. Any advice for what to do? I’m probably
confusing myself, but I need help.
Great guide! I’ve never changed a pickup before, the thought of doing
something wrong has put me off the idea — until finding this video.
I wouldn’t mind being pillow smothered to death by this guy, so long as he
whispers “shh, it’ll be over soon.” With his mystical voice in my ear.
Would my local music store not change my pick ups for me in my bass if I
get the pick ups and give it them ??
Damn Mr. Rodgers is a pick up swapping badass
Very helpful, thank you
yeah honestly where are these nice dudes when it comes time to hit a repair
shop
Great video! I’m pretty good with most LPs, Strats, and some mods to both.
About to tackle a wiring nightmare (as I see it). Double neck guitar with
coil splitting. Notice I didn’t say coil taps because technically a coil
tap is only used in single coil pickups. Coil splitting is for humbuckers.
This has got to be my most perfect find. Make fun of me. No worrys. I got a
shitload of dimebuckers I’m ready to load. Hellyeah!
That was ridiculously clear and to the point…Thanks!
What guitar is that? Epiphone? Ibanez?
So is their a video for switching pickups with coiltapping?
He sounds a bit like Cleveland Brown from family guy! lol
The red wuuUUN…..the black wuuUUN….the white wuuUUN.
That was cool heh heh hmmm yeah yeah hehe!
Good video thx for the info. No reason to pay some Guitar Center moron 50
or 100$ to do this stuff. You can learn just about anything right here on
the TUBE.
Oh and having a few extra inches in the wire is always a good thing. the
chicks dig it.
Please make a video of how to solder this diagram
please please please

The wiring schematics on the SD website were really helpful too. You guys
are the best.
Time for some Black Fucking Winter!
Are you VINCENT PRICE?
Thank you for posting this. I’ve never changed pickups before and after
watching this I first did a guitar with just a humbucker and volume to a
HSH, 1 tone, 1 volume, 5 way switch and a coil tap. Really great stuff!
Awesome. Tks from a brazilian guitarist.
soddddderrrrrr mate
This was awesome, well done!
Can someone tell me what guitar that is? looks badass
What if you guitar has four of the metal coins thingy?
wow what a good video. it explains everything
wow real jackass.
Hi, could anyone tell me what gauge wire are the inner core?
Thanks!
