Who all can make hybrids?

[PoorMan]

I know BachToRock is willing to make hybrids for some forum members. Does anyone else here offer this service?

Anybody with a soldering iron, screwdriver, and two pickups could do it

If you know how to solder...which I don't.

So are you offering?

BackToRock and I struck a deal for 2 hybrids. Waiting to hear back from him with a shipping address to get the ball rolling.

I'm asking about others because I could potentially be doing this fairly regularly as I've been building guitars. (Have 3 in the works right now). Then again, If I'm going to be building guitars I should probably learn to solder. LOL!

I'd put this pretty high on the priority list

Just like JB said. Anyone w/ a soldering iron, a screwdriver and 2 pickups can do it.

It's not rocket science and soldering isn't hard at all. Just practice tinning, soldering and unsoldering some scrap wire before you go digging into a pickup.

Re: Who all can make hybrids?

unless you have two ibanez pickups, they are unmoddable as everything is superglued and electro-duct taped together

Re: Who all can make hybrids?

Hybrids are fairly easy. Its just important that you be patient and take your time.

Re: Who all can make hybrids?

The you have to be very gentle with the lead wires and careful with the soldering iron... it is easy to short out a pickup with too much heat or break the lead wires from the coil when removing the existing tape.

So what is the process here exactly? Does color play a role (I am color blind)?

Re: Who all can make hybrids?

Is there a tutorial with pics anywhere on the net that walks you through this operation?

I've built amps & pedals from scratch, been wary of modding pickups - those are TINY leetle wires. I'd like to see a good hires photo of a pickup 'naked' before I take this on.

I have a couple nickel covered Dean HBs that need something...else they'll stay on the shelf forever.

Very easy. Just did my first two. Only two wires to desolder per coil. I have lighted 6" magnifing glass which is a godsend for tinkering. Cause you're right, those are some tiny wires!
