Tiesco? Pickup Problems

Hi all, So I've been digging around in my parts bin and I came across this set of p'ups that I forgot I had. These have been hanging around here so long that I can't remember what the heck they came off!

I do remember years ago that I had a tiesco tele clone and I also had a Satallite strat clone, think maybe its off one those.

Anyway, my problem is I cut the wires, in my naivete:oops:, too close to the pickup. Now, is it possible to solder a wire to the wire thats there? Or do I have to go inside and operate?:smile:

Also, the yellow wire on one of the pickups is grounded to the case, but not on t'other, would you say I should solder the other wire in the same manner?

I was thinking of using these on a LP JR DC, I think they would sound great, set up in open G and played for slide guitar.:cool: What'dya think?

It looks like the yellow wire was soldered to the case at some point.

See the glob of solder with bits of wire sticking out of it. :wink:

Yeah, I can see it now you pointed it out to me:smile:
My eyes ain't what they used to be.:lol:

The yellow wire goes to the case like on the other pickup, and you can splice the other wire if you like.

Don't use a soldering gun to do the soldering - use a pencil iron. The gun sets up enough magnetic field around it to totally erase the magnetism in the pickups!

Thanks ken, I have a 25w iron- would that be OK?
