ok so i took apart an old squier strat style body . to put a diffrent guard on . and i had to break the wires that were welded to the input jack . . to fix this . should i take it to a shop . or can i attempt to fix it myslef .?

could i just heat it up on the stove and slop it on just kiddin

where can i get a handheld welder and how much ?

$10 @ Radio Shack. 40 Watts.

i don't know how to weild...i can wield...a lightsaber. and i can weld...some metal. but weild?

did you mean weiland?

What you want is a "soldering iron", dude.

And some wire strippers too, by the sound of it.

just tape that shit back on old school style.

My Showmaster wiring is taped together. I didn't have my soldering iron when I modded it, so I taped it and it's working fine, so I can't be arsed to do it properly. Tape works!

Hahaha, fuckin newbs..

Dude, it's seriously not "welding", you weld sheets of metal together with that, not tiny blobs of solder that melt in seconds. I do not recommend you go in Radio Shack and request a welder.

Yeah, it does. It's a good idea to make notes of where things are connected before you pull them apart y'know.



See the lug to the right is connected to/part of the metal circle, the one you can see the hole in? Bare wire goes to that one, white wire to the other one.

The white is the lead and the bare is the ground.

Normally I just solder to the sleeve tip. It's sexy knowing that one day you'll plug a guitar in and nothing will happen.

So fucking hot.
