Soldering isn't too difficult to tackle. I swapped pups in my mim strat and made it through the process. You'll need to get a good soldering iron and good solder. Take some time and PRACTICE. Always tin the ends of the wire you are going to be soldering before hand. If you put too much heat in one area for too long, you'll have problems. Try to make sure the solder joints a nice and shiny. If they look dull, do them over. It means you'll develop cold solder joints and could lead to problems later on. I'm sure someone with more experience than I will come along and offer more advice.
Let us know how you make out.

Soldering.

I'm no expert but this is how to solder Big Hairy Style! I'm going to use the Bridge S-1 Tone Pot to demonstrate this.

Now then, I was taught to make sure that there is a good mechanical join before soldering.





As you can see in the above pics that's what I've done. The wires are tightly rapped round the pot lugs and are totally secure.



Not the best result show below, but the bloody camera was in the way!



Once the join is soldered there is less chance of the connection coming loose during those over shoulder throws and Townsend style windmills we all like to do!

Once its soldered we can add a small piece of the heat shrink tubing. Now, this is totally optional and the only reason I'm using it is to make everything looks tidy. Actually when I think about it, its probably quite handy if your packing lots of stuff in a small space as it should stop any bare wires or soldered joints contacting each other and causing problems later.



The tubing shrinks down to size with a few passes of a flame from a cigarette lighter. Just be careful not to hold the flame over the wires for to long or you'll end up with a nasty mess.

thanks guys from what i see on the seymour duncan fat strat wiring diagram there are 2 (i believe to be red and white) wires that are isolated what do i do with those wires?

Unless you wish to coil tap the humbuckers, just make sure they are soldered together and the bare end taped off.

Job done.

Good luck & keep us posted on how you get on!
