first time guitar builder installing emg81
hi everybody,
ive bought a new emg81 pickup for my first project but i'm going to have to make a few 'snips' and 'sticks' to the pickup connections so just before i go and make another stoopid mistake and render the pickup useless i just want to make sure i'm doing everything right.
firstly, the volume and tone controls are slight too close together to fit into the holes drilled in the guitar so i need to extend the connection between the 2 by a tiny bit, its the transister thing inbetween who's connects dont quite extend far enough. Am i ok to cut one of these connections and patch it up with a bit of soldering later?
secondly, and i'm sure this is standard practise, the jack is connected to the battery clip with a single black wire but as the body is solid (without a pickguard) obviously the clip wont thread through the wire hole in the body so i need to disconnect this as well, access to the soldered parts at either end is tricky so can i just snip it and solder it back together after ive threaded it through to the control cavity?
hope this makes sense, thanks in advance
