Flailing up a storm.
Hey all,
I recently ebayed myself a classic 57 pickup and in the pics i swear it looked gold, but turns out to be chrome. I am going to stick it in my black les paul studio, which has all gold hardware including the new tuners i just put in it.
At first i was saying to myself that i would jsut mis and match and i am not hung up on appearance, but it appears that the gold pickup cover is just soldered on. Does anyone know if it is a matter of desoldering that, removing the gold cover from the stock pickup, and then resoldering to the new one? Any chance i can really damage either of the the pickups?
I am moderately skilled with soldering, enough to complete a monte allum mod recently anyway.
