Hello everyone, this is my first post.
I picked up an EMG 81 from my local Guitar Center last night. My first guitar is getting a little old...about 4-5 years now, I want to keep it for sentimental reason but I think it needs a little TLC. Its an LTD by ESP dual humbuckers, floyd rose trem, 24 fret.
So I dug into it last night and found out that the space between the new EMG volume and tone knobs isn't long enough to reach the cutouts. They have a wire with some sort of fuse that is connecting each other via solder, there isn't enough slack to stretch the wire.
Any suggestions??
Thanks,
Brian K.
Can you jump it with another piece soldered to it?

^^^^ I could extend the piece with solder. But I don't know if it will affect the quality of the connection???

Depends on the quality of the soldering job :wink:
As long as you have some small amount of experience soldering, you'll be fine. Just take your time and do a neat job.
