How to install and replace?

When installing or replacing pickups, soldering is usually required. Wiring methods differ depending on
the manufacturer of the pickup and the controls on the guitar, so if you are uneasy, we recommend
that you ask a musical instrument store or repair shop to install it. Please refer here when wiring by
yourself.
