Easy peasy, lemon squeezy! I basically take 10 mins to tell you that all you need to do is copy the existing layout. You could redo all the pots and the entire guitar this way. 1 wire at a time, from old part to new part. Do that enough times and you work out what everything actually does, pretty quickly. TIP OF THE DAY: If a wire keeps jumping away from you, use your solder wire to hold it down, then take a swipe at the wire above the joint and it's released.
Hi, I have a Squier Strat and my strumming hand keeps knocking the volume. Can I assign the tone of all pickups to back tone knob, move the volume pot to the middle hole and leave the front hole open?
10:31 what material is in the little red tub???
Please no singing.
Caution: If you change your pots, keep the old ones. It will greatly affect the 'collectable' value of your guitar in the future.
Put the camera across the table from you dummy. Half the video we see your hands.
Your HANDS are in the WAY…
Any tips for a guy that bought a 25w solderer , which appears to be too weak, as I can't melt down the factory set solder no matter how long I leave the iron on there.
Hey man think you can do a vid on HSS configuration? Kinda lost on what pots and caps I should use on my Strat(currently all single coils).
Awesome video! Very informative. Can you do other step by step electronic videos ?
What watt is the soldering iron your using?
ironic…Im about to make a similar video LOL Good job as always dude.
Great video! Have you tried Autosol to polish frets?
I bought a used 2012 epiphone sg400 pro 66 Pelham Blue 150$ American & yanked out a stem from the pot which is attached to a small circuit board & Im self taught too and when the new pot arrives I will have to do like you did is connect the dots and copy the existing layout
Thanks for showing a very simple way to change with volume (or any other) pot for those who have no experience.
Good times, Good video
You didnt say What was in the little red container! SAY IT "ROSIN"!!
I know it's all about the tone so before someone tells me that looks dont matter I get it but I have always thought those lace sensor pups make strats look ugly
Go to 47 seconds and pause LOOK AT THE FINISH where the pickguard would cover it and where it wouldnt
As always, clear and informative! Great channel.
Love your videos
If I ever get a cheap Strat clone and install Lace Sensors, I'll make sure to watch this video first. 😛
Great video Nelson! Please make more instructional videos – particularly about setups!
I got so tired of huge blobs of solder on pots, I took too soldering a length of copper de-soldering tape to the top of the pot and soldering everything to that instead of the top of the pot.
lol
