Hey all...I've got an Ibanez Artcore custom and I want to change the neck pickup to a new Benedetto/Seymour Duncan A-6 pickup I just bought. THe problem is getting access to the pots and such inside the guitar so I wire it up.
I'm sure people have done this before but it's looking pretty challening. Does anyone have any tips?
I don't have any special tools that help to reach all the way inside the f-hole over to the tone pot for removal/re-installation. I'm thinking the only way I'm going to be able to do it - short of hiring someone who has done this before - is to cut the wires for the existing pickup and then splice the wires for the new pickup onto the existing wires. But then the challenge is in knowing which of the existing wires performs which function so I know which wires need to be spliced together.
Anyone have any info about this?
Thanks very much.
