Tom, thank you. You answered a question I had regarding temperature. When I was younger, I used the straight iron. However, I now own the same Weller we 1010 and wondered. I use it to assemble an automatic breaking system I devised for handicapped people in power chairs. Had a friend that used to drive one and was always hitting walls. I also repair neighbors' electronics when possible.

So pleased you found it useful and what a wonderful use of your skills.. Friend of mine recently passed from ALS I was always helping him with minor mods and adjustments to his power chair - mostly hardware, not the electronics… Thank you for the comment more to come, just up leveling my camera gear and workflow…

Planning to do soldering as a hobby by reparing gaming controllers. Thank you for this guide!

@@takefivewithtom6683 FYI, watch out if you use D’addario strings. Something has changed and their all treble now. I thought I had a grounding issue. It was both guitars. Then the amp. It was fine. Looked online, the strings, a lot of people had the same issue.

I have just installed a new neck pickup on my telecaster........2 wires, one minute job turned into a nightmare. Eventually nailed it but set off my carbon monoxide alarms. So know i sit back and watch this video, something i should of done an hour ago before commencing on my frustrating mess. What an idiot i have been today. Clean clean and clean again. Thank you.

I have made so many mistakes as I started on this road to guitar repair, I'm still in the early stages, so I know what you mean. One thing I'm good at is the soldering part, so I figured sharing that expertise might help a lot of people. I have a Gretsch that I'm installing a new neck pickup in and will do a video on that and also share some mistakes I made with another project on that instrument. That's how we learn! Thank you SO MUCH for the watch and the comment!

Thank you! Just learning so this was super helpful.
