Vintage Mod on Brand New Pickups (i.e. swapping out wires for cloth wires)
Just wondering if anybody else has done this before. I'm wanting to do a bit of vintage mod work on my "in the process of being built" strat. I got the pickups in the mail today (Fender Vintage Noiseless), and i was wondering if it can wreck the pickups if you swap out the wires they came with and solder on different wires. I've got a few rolls of vintage style cloth covered wire (AWG 22 Gauge i belive).
If it's possible, how do i go about doing this? I would have to re-solder the wire directly to the pickup right? If that proves a bit difficult, is it also possible to mod an extension wire off the pickup? (like leave maybe an inch of the original wire and twist & solder the new wire together)
much appreciated to anybody who can offer advice
~Cheers~
