Question

Puckup leads too short! Need advice...


Hey folks!
I have a used DiMarzio 4-conductor humbucker neck pickup to be installed in a guitar. However, I noticed yesterday that its leads are too short!
What is the best way to "extend" the leads? Solder another 4-conductor cable?

All input welcome!

Hi, yeah just solder an extension to the existing wires and you're set, I've done this a few times and it works out fine.
