Ok, I’m all thumbs…Fender pup repair & who…

[garywright]

I had the pups out of my MIM strat to swap the guard/covers and broke this wire on one of the American’65 style..
..what will I do ?..what WILL I DO

 

[DutchRay]

Carefully ruin it with a drop of solder and then get a nice set hand wound replacements!

 

[garywright]

to much to invest on this guitar ..actually the stock pickups are ( were ) fine.

 

[garywright]

maybe this guitar could use the ”Ace” mod..

 

[DutchRay]

It's not a difficult fix. For me a strat without neck pu is pretty useless, as I spent most of my time there. I'd probably go for a Blackmore setup.

Can you unwind one turn and make a new connection with the extra length gained? I'm guessing it's not easy, since it's from the beginning of the wind (buried under all the other turns)?

thanks but unfortunately no, found a guy who will do the job for $30
