RUclips is your friend when wanting to learn a new skill it has taught me many things over the years. I would also recommend taking what you hear and learn from these videos and talking with an experienced repairmen to help weed out the bad advice.
Indeed! I also just learnt that Brian Wahl put up a whole series of basic guitar tech videos on the Worship Tutorials site. I am, in the long term, thinking of going so far as to shadow someone in the trade (I know a friend who might not mind the fly on the wall)
I’d start off with rewiring a Stratocaster but buy a kit with good American parts like toneshapers also buy a good soldering iron it’s basically the thing that either makes you have a easy time or a insanely difficult time
I get a weird nostalgia with this type of content… it’s been 7 months now since I had a fallout with the church I had played for, for 5 years and now don’t play much guitar anymore. Can’t really play longer than 10 minutes at a time. Idk maybe that passion died, just not the same as it was. Now I’m in other hobbies
Sorry to hear about your fallout. I can totally relate to the passion dying. I myself had a run-in and it fundamentally changed how much I committed to church. I saw my church as exploitative and political, and I wanted to avoid that as much as possible. But I also saw that the church was filled with people I would fall on a sword for. Those people saved me from leaving.
@ That’s good you had those people. I had a group like that in the beginning, then over the course of 5 years they all left but 1. And he was a follower, unable to do the right thing. When everyone else left the Cesspool, he chose to stay. Idk why God allowed all this to happen. I don’t think I could step a foot in that church again. And the sad thing is I don’t think I want to be at any church right now… God still nudges me time to time that he’s still in my heart… I think he just needs me to grow into the man he needs me to be in this season.. so I’ve just been focusing on work and trying to be better financially. Something I never really did until now. And I’ve just been doing the best I can and living by ear.

3:41 - 4:08 THIS. This is it right here. Finally someone said it. Great video Justin 💪
Thanks Brandon! Oh. I have to preach it to myself first. I’m SO guilty of this, and am continually a work-in-progress.

but buy a kit with good American parts like toneshapers
also buy a good soldering iron it’s basically the thing that either makes you have a easy time or a insanely difficult time
Good soldering iron, gotcha. I do think the “7-way” strat wiring sounds insanely versatile but that’s advanced wiring huh.
Background music on point bro
Thanks! A lot of talented behind the music!
Great Video 😀
Thank you for the kind words!
Dang I've had a pair of 7506 for years and my pads are RAW. Might have to get a set of those pads
You’ll get back at least some bass! Highly recommended to replace them!
HI iv been repairing my own gear because i couldnt afford new stuff, many yrs now im 53 and at this stage i just wanna have good working stuff...
Indeed, costs do rack up pretty high through acquiring the gear. What tools would you recommend to start with?

I basically took one of my guitars, sacrificed i,t to learn how to do repairs, i will take old pots and pickups to get better at soldering.
Whoa, commitment! I wouldn’t know which guitar to sacrifice, unless I…buy a $200 project guitar…
Do not watch this video if you want to justify buying new gear next week!
Haha even now actually, cause Black Friday deals have begun! Which is very weird to me!
