I was planning on just cutting the legs with the 90 degree left on the ears and slide them up and solder it on.Is this the simplest way ? I have a 40 watt iron ,will that get hot enough to solder pieces this size?

Press in studs before or after finish?
So you press the TOM/TP studs into the body prior to finish? I think my LP was done this way (as is apparent by the finish over the studs) but my Mockingbird does not appear to have been built that way. Is there a right way to do it? I’d be concerned that pressing the studs in after finishing could damage the finish.

WTT: Rickenbacker 330 for Gibson SG Standard
I have a 2003 Rickenbacker 330/6 in FireGlo. I am the original owner. It is in MINT condition as is it’s Rick OEM hardshell plastic case. The bridge pickup is an OEM Hi-Gain and the neck pickup is an OEM Vintage Toaster pickup. There is virtually NO WEAR on this guitar or case whatsoever and it would come with all its OEM case candy.

Middle Pups in a Strat?
Is it worth actually buying a middle position pickup? I am going to be putting new pups in my Strat soon, and I don't know if it is worth spending another £70 on a middle position pickup. I am buying either Lil '59s or Jb Jrs or Hot Rails, so the middle won't be used for hum cancelling.

ValveTronix Head Dialed In Great Tonight
And I learned something else tonight that I really liked...I set my amp for the 30 watt setting and maxed the master volume control....I use an EB Volume pedal always to control my overall master volumes....The amp sounded fantastic all night...I consistently got clean,articulate tones...The 6 tones I used tonight with great success were the UK70s,UK80s,Soldano, BF Twin,Clean AC30,and the AC30TB set for some gain...

Duncan and GFS coils compatible?
I'm interested in building one of the 59/Custom hybrids that have been described in the other threads. I already have a Custom Custom, so I have the screw coil covered, but I need to purchase a 59 for the other coil. However, before I destroy a perfectly good (and more expensive) Duncan, I was thinking of trying the experiment with a cheaper GFS pickup.
