Soldering Etc.

[Vaachek]

OK, I got my new CR Coils pups and the RS wiring kit, but I need to know, is there a right kind of solder and soldering iron to use for putting it all together??? All suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

THANKS!!

The Search function is your friend.

You want at least a 30 watt iron, if I remember correctly.
And I believe rosin core solder.

I use silver solder and a weller soldering station. very consistent and precise temperature regulation, and less chance of damaging something.

In all my hair-brained schemes, I've destroyed exactly 1 component...a 30 cent resistor, because I forgot where it was.

Radio Shack 40watt iron & RS .032 rosin core solder. Been using the same one for years now. I have a couple of extra tips for different applications.
