This is one of the most thorough and understandable soldering tutorials I've ever seen.
Totally agree, very good!👍👍👍
Very clear and informative, thank you!👍👍👍
Here is a good tip. When soldering any pot, turn the potentiometer's shaft all the way to the OFF position (fully CW or CCW).
By doing so before soldering you protect the fragile carbon resistor strip from damage from high heat/over-heating.
If by chance there is damage it will be at the extreme travel of the wiper-arm/carbon strip.
Basically, if it gets damaged better to have the damage occur at the extreme ends instead of in the middle of the operational area.
Holy smokes. I never had a 15 minute tutorial go so fast. Thanks
Just saved me $80 on my Ibanez SDGR bass. Plus however much it would’ve cost me to do any other time I needed this one wire resoldered. A like and a sub was a negligible price to pay.
Got it first try too 🎉
I'm doing the wiring on my first build and this video was incredibly helpful to me. Thank you so much! No other video went into the details that aren't very intuitive to me as well as this one did.
Excellent tutorial with great macro photography. Thanks.
Thank you. This has been the best video on soldering for guitars that I have ever seen on RUclips. Top Notch!
Your video helped me fix my bass on my own and I'm very grateful for the time you spent putting this together.
I'm ordering a soldering iron now. I'm excited to be able to play my bass again.
I've soldered, many times. Installed a bunch of pickups. However, I didn't realize quite how terrible/half assed my approach was. That is, until I stumbled on this gem of a video. Thanks dude. Much appreciated 🤌🏻🙏🏻🤘🏻
This is such a great instructional for soldering. Between the closeups and detailed instruction (that’s lacking in every other instructional I’ve seen), this is, by far, the best.
Isopropyl alcohol also assists at the end to remove any residual flux and leave a shiny solder finish result.
Thanks again for your video
Excellent. Thank you.
Love the wood jig
One additional "trick": when soldering the ground to pots take care to keep the solder blob away from interesting lettering, you might want to be able to read the value easily later when repairing it...
It’s a good thing the value is on the opposite side of the pots, then…
I have watched a fair few soldering tutorials on guitar soldering and this is perfect, the best, clear instructions and most importantly very clear and close up camera work. Well done.
I really wish this video had been available all the times I soldered new pickups in. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. The only consistent thing about my soldering work was the white-hot rage I was filled with by the end.
Nicely presented and tips well explained.
50 years in the electronic industry so a qualified comment!
5 years ago upgraded from a Weller WCPT station to a hakko station and watched the online PACE tutorials.
Changed my methods and quality results. Always learning.
Well done
Another tip is to score or scuff the back of the pot with some sandpaper to help the solder stick to it
Thanks Daniel, I struggle a little soldering grounds to the pot. People get so precious about what you’re “supposed to do” that soldering videos frequently get overly complicated and hard to remember. So thank you for the simple, straightforward walk through.
I love you mate. Really, what a gem of a video.
Just an observation, do not tangle the 2 wires @13:00. I've heard it's of no use and makes it more difficult to undo them if needed.
Amazing instructions. Thank you!
I can’t believe how easy you have made this. I successfully changed out the pots and replaced a capacitor in my guitar, saving me time and money. Thanks so much 👍🏻 Subscribed to your brilliant channel 👍🏻
Extra flux always helps especially with rework of used components and larger surfaces.
Fibre pen abrasion to remove corrosion can also assist solder to flow.
Very clear instructions. Very good! Thank you
Fantastic. Such a well done tutorial. Thank you!
Love the close up shots to see the action of the molten solder within the wire. Very cool, thank you.
Thank you very much! I've been having some ground issues on a recently installed harness, and this made me realize I may not be using the correct solder
Thanks for the help! Loved the recap at the end!

That was a great instructional video,thank you for sharing with all of us
The best and easiest to understand instruction video for soldering guitar electronics ....many thanks....loved it 👍
Great video! Very helpful stuff. Thanks so much
This is a great tutorial for soldering in general. I had always figured I was soldering two wires together wrong. I could never get it to work when I tinned the wires - turns out I was on the right track by twisting them first! Your technique on how to get good flow into the twisted pair will be a huge help.
Very good and helpful tips. Thank you
Exactly what I needed! Thank you!!
Just found your channel & tutorial..... Excellent video, explanations & camera work. Well Done and greatly appreciated!!.... and you just gained a new subscriber with notifications added.

Hi Daniel, I wish you made this video last week mate as I have done my first ever soldering on my guitar, it turned all ok to my surprise but now thanks to you I can do it more precisely and definitely better. Great video as always. Thank you
Awesome video, thank you for taking the time to demonstrate proper technique. I just tried to install a new wiring harness in my guitar. By some miracle it works, because I’m a complete disaster with a soldering iron.
Thank you, an in depth explanation.
Best video on soldering. Great camera angels
The best explanation on soldering! Thank you so much.
