Re: What size tip should I get for soldering?
When doing work on your guitar for instance, you don't need much heat. Smaller is good. Just make sure the solder joint is real shinny when you get done.

Re: What size tip should I get for soldering?
When I went to radio shack today they had a 30 watt iron with a tip about that looked like about 1/8 of an inch. Is that the right size or do they make smaller ones?Current Gear: USA Custom Dinky S: Mahogany Body, Pau Ferro Neck & board, DD, Jazz. Schecter C1 E/A: C5, Jazz.

Re: What size tip should I get for soldering?
I'd go with the 40 watt iron with the pencil-like tip...it makes soldering to the back of a pot much easier, and you won't overheat the pot as long as you're careful and use some common sense.

Re: What size tip should I get for soldering?
Thanks for the tips guys. Yeah I'm going to put in a custom and replace the pot and switch on my new OLP that I'm currently modding. I'll practice soldering on some old junk guitar electronics that I have first though.
