Well I'm sure most of you saw my thread about trying to choose a couple new pickups for my jackson warrior, but now that I've decided on a set, I was wondering if anyone with experience swapping pups out can give a tutorial on how to do it. Please note that I have absolutely no experience doing this and VERY little experience with soldering so I'm holding off on actually buying my pickups for the time being. The reason I want to learn to do this myself is mostly to save myself a lot of money since the only nearby place that will change them is going to charge me 65 bucks an hour for a job that, in my mind, shouldn't take THAT long for a proffessional. However, I'm VERY worried that I'm gonna screw something up and ruin my favorite guitar or electrocute myself by crossing wires or something blink.gif

So if anyone could help me out with this I would be eternally grateful biggrin.gif

My Guitar:
Jackson JS30 Warrior, 3 way switch, HH configuration, tone and volume knob
and I want to put in a DiMarzio Evolution in the neck and an Evo2 in the bridge.
