I've done a few bits and pieces of soldering but for the new Squier Tele I bought recently to have it's entire electrics replaced I took it a shop. There are some bits which are really annoying and fiddly like cutting and stripping wire to the right lengths for the fat fingered idiot that I am.

Do you already have an electric guitar Martin? If you are looking for soldering projects, there are some amazing pedal/amp kits around. For starters...

Soldering can be a right bastard. Wire and solder it all up and it doesn't work due to one bad connection and it's a bit of a hassle to find which needs done again. I used to usually do my own electronics when I assembled / built electrics, but I never managed to reach the point of enjoying or even feeling relaxed about the soldering. Does save a fair whack of money though.

otis1960: A few years ago I wrapped similarly-sized apples, onions, and potatoes in foil, and offered the bucket to visiting 'Trick or Treaters' to take a pick. Oct 31, 2024 12:11:02 GMT

otis1960: I thought this wholly in the spirit of 'Trick or Treat', but evidently I was mistaken. It didn't end well. Oct 31, 2024 12:11:57 GMT

scorpiodog: No, newdave. BUt I normally wake up at 5:30 so I listened to the depressing news then. Nov 6, 2024 10:05:04 GMT

NikGnashers: Nice covering of snow here today Nov 19, 2024 7:20:54 GMT

newdave: Snowing in North London too. And settling. Temperature is probably too high for it to last though. Nov 19, 2024 7:58:48 GMT

borborygmus: We have snow in Northamptonshire. Road is a little slushy but clear. Nov 19, 2024 9:08:40 GMT
