Soooo last week I bought this new fender mustang 90… I’m very impressed, it’s the best guitar I’ve ever played comfort wise. I just wish I bought it 20 years ago :)

      It’s not difficult if you can solder. I’ve replaced several pickups over the years. But I’ve got a hundred other projects. So it never made it to the top.

        I have a cheap Ibanez GAX30 where I’d like to try different pickups, maybe I’ll get some soldering practice then I try

          Oh, highly recommended! I didn’t realize you were asking for yourself. If I’m looking at it right you’re probably looking at a couple of hours work for your first time (that includes time rewatching a video of someone else doing it to make sure you’ve got it right). Someone that’s done it a few times could probably knock it out in under half an hour if they don’t want to change the strings. I’m pretty careful with my work so the last time I did a swap it probably took me 45 minutes from grabbing my tool bag to tightening the strings back up.
