Reposted from @radioshoppickups Just tryin’ to make life easier! A little tip for Strat soldering for you 👍 After literally hundreds of times soldering in tone capacitors I one day had that light bulb moment. This is definitely a time saver and much neater too. Simply use the capacitor leg to join to the second tone pot and tone cap changing gets so much easier! Hope you found this useful guys.

Reposted from @radioshoppickups A little help with guitar jack soldering for you 👍 This is one of the trickier guitar mod soldering jobs and this is how we do it: 1. Secure the jack in whatever you have that’ll keep it still - this sucker’s gonna want to move! 2. Use Vintage Cloth hook up wire - lovely stuff to work with 3. Pull about half inch (2.5cm) of the cloth back and trim half of the exposed wire. Having excess cloth will help later 4. Fashion the exposed wire into a L shaped hook and feed through the jack eyelet 5. Pull the wire back so it sits tight in the eyelet hole 6. Solder both sides of the tab to fill the eyelet 7. Trim the excess wire as close as you can to the solder joint 8. Push the cloth up to the joint. Because you have excess cloth from trimming the wire in step 3, the cloth will be more likely to sit snug against the joint 👍 9. Repeat for the second wire and twist the wires round each other for a lovely finish 👌 Hope you found this useful. We’d love it if you’d hit ❤️, Save and Follow. Coming soon … Part 2 - Soldering to a jack with the dreaded Gibson braided wire 😱 #guitartips #guitarmods #guitarupgrades #guitarvideos #fender #becausetone #strats #telecasters #handwound https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ2NsAxlKd_SeHJ4URMRW2_cLAEE-pHTwiGrVc0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Reposted from @radioshoppickups A quick Strat mod for you to help you get the most out of your Strat this #straturday 👍 In this video we’re looking at how your tone controls are set up and how you can vary them. How do you set yours up? We’d love to hear in the comments below 👍 When Leo Fender designed the Strat he envisaged that Country players would enjoy the extra treble response from the bridge pickup. With this in mind and only two knobs to control the tone - these were set for the Neck and Middle only. Even today, for this historical reason, most Strats are still set up in this way. Radioshop’s Paul Best shows you a few simple soldering mods you can do to get control over the bridge if you find you’re getting some harshness from that position 👍 Another answer to make a bridge sound thicker is one of our baseplates added to that position, or even better, check out our website to see our handwound pickups sets, specially voiced to give balance in all three positions 👍 If you found this video useful we’d love it if you’d hit Like, Save and give us a Follow to see more tips 🙏 #strats #becausetone #guitarmods #guitarupgrades #soldering #knowyourtone #guitaristsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CZmIOexlkjNNuAbn6tfYIUDNHZcWDj4l2ZvauQ0/?utm_medium=tumblr
