Installing humbuckers in a Les Paul -- is it that hard?

[Eskimo_Joe]

I would like to learn how to install humbuckers into a Les Paul. Anybody have any advice? Is there a list of steps I should follow?

Thanks,

EJ

thanks for the offer Doc! I ended up struggling through it last night. It was a comedy of errors. Bought too weak of an iron after stopping 4 places to find one (long story), then exchanged that one for a more powerful one, then hooked everything up and the bridge didn't work. Found out what a "cold solder joint" is and finally got it working. It was both easier and harder than I thought --- idea / concept being easy to get, but the execution a bit hard than I would have thought. At least I'm not a slave to the repair shop for these types of things now.

That's the spirit!!! I'm glad you got it figured out!
