Hi all,
Quick question, I'm looking to drop some Texas Specials into my 04 Standard US Strat - is there a particular grade/type of solder to use?
Thanks

Electronic solder, not plumber solder.
Lead solder is easy to use than lead free

Do lots of practice on old pieces of wire before working on guitar if you don't want to mess.
You need a quality solder iron, cheap one make job hard to do.

Look on You Tube

Yep, look for some rosin cored tin/lead alloy solder.
The lead free stuff has a higher melting point and is harder to use.
