- 25 or 40 watt soldering iron gun for guitar electronics?
Pfft I have a soldering station and I still use my Rat Shack 15 30w switchable pencil iron for really small stuff It has a super pointy tip and my soldering station iron doesn't It has what they call a pencil tip but it's rounded I have a spare for it, so I may sharpen it with my Dremel and see how long the point lasts
- Any way to wire a guitar without soldering? - Electric Guitars . . .
you can crimp it with some sort of blade or bullet connector im guessing, but im honestly gonna say soldering is normally the best way that your wire doesnt disconnect at the connection point, i also dont know if it will affect tone or anything cuz ive never done it before maybe someone else could further help you with any problems with that decision good luck
- soldering wires to speaker terminals - Harmony Central
Please DON'T just wrap the wire around the terminals, even though it will work for a while, eventually it will vibrate loose and cause problems Soldering wires to speaker terminals is one of the easiest soldering jobs to do, but if you don't want to solder then get some crimp-on spade connectors and use them to connect the speaker
- Soldering and heat sinks: please educate me. - Harmony Central
Most of the time I do not put heat sinks on leads before soldering the parts If I'm soldering germanium transistors or diodes, or maybe mosfets, I put a small copper clip on the legs, solder the connection and then remove the clip Only takes a few seconds Don't worry about it on resistors or capacitors regards, Jack
- Which solder for guitar wiring? - Harmony Central
What you want is something with rosin in it Flux does two things first, at soldering temperature, it cleans and prevents the formation of metal oxides Secondly, flux acts as a wetting agent in the soldering process, reducing the surface tension of the molten solder and causing it to better wet out the parts to be joined
- Removing Soldering Potentiometers - Harmony Central
In the past several months I've rewired and installed new electronics pickups in two of my guitars I had never done any soldering before and they both work perfectly Just take your time, practice soldering with the old pieces and make sure you have everything you need to complete the job before you get started
- Low heat solder strips. Anybody ever hear of them?
The trick to soldering is to heat the metal of the connection THEN add solder and it will flow around the connection and bond the metals atomically Using a solder strip will 9 times out of ten cause a cold solder joint because you're melting the solder before the metal below is hot enough to bond with it
- Working on a electric guitar with 2 humbuckers, 1 volume, 1 tone, and a . . .
1) when soldering to the pot shell, flatten the wire before you tin it [a quick squeeze with a pair of pliers will do it] 2) Where you have not folded back the lug, hook the wires and solder them to the jumper lead rather than the shell; or if the lug is folded, hook the wires and solder to the lug
