Most beginning guitar players start with an inexpensive instrument. They usually have a clone of the mass production of a Fender Stratocaster or a Gibson Les Paul. The most popular clones are made overseas by Gibson and Fender them through lines Epiphone and Squier. They are constructed of the same features as the American models did. They are decent instruments in their own right, but can be greatly improved with a simple chip replacement. As the neck is straight and the pegs are quite strong, often all you need to improve professional sound.

Iv'e changed several Mexican made Stratocasters and I will explain the process. The first thing you want is to decide what kind of sound you are looking for. Replacement pads are available with a lot of variety in sound production. I like to use Seymour Duncan, as they have proven to be of high quality and reliability. They also have a good selection and a CD of sound samples can be heard. Most dealers have CD and you can also listen to previews online. Choose a replacement pick and you're ready to upgrade.

You will need several things to use. A plan work or a very stable board with plenty of room to put his tools, makes things much easier. Here is a list of what you need:

1.screwdriver together, both flathead and Philips

Iron 2.soldering

3.solder

4.new set of strings

Court 5.wire / strippers

The first thing you have to do is remove the guitar strings. Usually leave the low E-string to keep some tension in the neck. Then remove protective cover. Make sure all the screws in a cup as they are small and easily lost. After removing the screws, you should be able to get up and drag it through the E-string. Now you should see your three microphones and that is associated wiring.

The new pickups are with a wiring diagram that is color coded, but look good each microphone before replacing it in case something is not right with the code color. It is important to replace a truck at a time so as not to confuse the bridge pickup, middle and neck.

Heat your soldering iron. Remove the first truck. As generally start with the neck pickup. Cut and strip the child under the instructions and solder for the new child. Repeat for the other two. Not bad, eh?

When replacing the cover / kicker, do not overtighten the screws or may be stripped. Now would be a good time to clean before placing new guitar strings.

Replace and adjust the strings and having you be pleased with the results. I have several layers furnished for the price of an expensive and more versatile bar sound reproduction. You can do the same thing with an Epiphone Les Paul to produce a sound that rivals that of Gibson for about a third the price. Now you can spend more money on every gadget cool effects. Have fun and keep practicing.
