Scratching it a bit before adding solder is genius thank you for the tip

Love the emphasis on ‘pre tinned’ wire. Perfection is never rushing the simpler tasks so the simple tasks don’t look rushed.

I’ve burned so many pots… I wish someone had shown me this like 15 years ago👍🏼

Thanks! This is more helpful than you might think

Is there a temp range that is best for the iron?

Thank you. I had someone solder some Fishman Stephen Carpenter 6 string signature pickups and pots in my first good guitar I've ever had. I never noticed the job he did and it looks pretty bad. It's an orange Ibanez RG320fm which you can find today for around $200. They were made in 2003 and fantastic Strats. But I noticed the ground wire came off one of the pots and now I see the job he did doesn't look that great so I'm thinking about redoing everything because I know I can do a better job. It is my guitar so of course I'd care to do better. Anyways, thank you for the tips!

this hard to me can you suggest what temperature my iron 450 and my lead 63/37 .

Real question, why is there no flux being used?

[agtronic]

I’m guessing this is flux-cored solder?

But why we do solder on potentiometer pot? Instead of other place.

Scratching up and covering pot codes? Just like putting pepsi in a coke glass, you dont give a damn

I recently got my guitar setup and i asked for new pots, after i got it i check if they said 500k because it has humbuckers, and the pot says "made in korea jinsung" and thats it, is that a real pot or a fake that theyve installed.

TEMPERATURE (duh....soldering iron temperature)

British soldering is way better than American soddering
Nice job too

[Yamallama]

That's an ugly solder job. You need to use some flux with that
