Guitar pickups are pretty simple things – magnets, wires, wax, some metal bits and a bobbin to hang it all on. But with all the jargon and mojo surrounding them, it’s intimidating for many guitarists to even consider they could repair or mod one. Covered humbuckers are especially mysterious with everything all locked up in a little box and sealed with those little blobs of solder.
So here’s an excellent video to clear away the fog and show you how to easily get a cover off a humbucker, and just as important, put it back together properly. It was created by Mojo Musical Supply that I noticed sells all the parts for making your own pickups. The tip about the razor blade is gold!
