How to fit a pickup claw on a Jaguar pickup

My Jaguar is missing the bridge pickup claw from a pickup swap years ago.

Gonna get a replacement and was wondering whether or not it's a simple process fitting it, or is there anything else I need to do?

so long as you don't pinch and/or crimp the cable (a mistake i made many moons ago), you should be fine.

When soldering to the claw a little scratch with some sandpaper then some flux will help the solder take. It can be a pain in the ass with that shiny chrome. :)

Nice one.

Was gonna order some tusq saddles as well but my Mustang bridge gunked up blu tac seems to be holding up well enough I think.
