How to install pickups in your guitar even if you can't solder! If you can use a screwdriver you can install guitar pickups yourself! One mistake that I made was in trimming the "pushback" wire Duh. No need to do that. You literally need two screwdrivers. One Phillips to remove and reinstall the pick guard and the pickups from the guitar and another small flat head to push the button down while installing or removing wire from the PCB circuit.
Step 1 - Remove old strings - I saved mine to reuse as they are still in good shape
Step 2 - Remove the pickguard screws
Step 3 - Check to see if the pick guard will come out of the guitar, if not it could be that the neck is holding the pick guard in place. If so, the back the neck screws off enough to allow you to remove the pickguard. Be sure to be careful if your ground wire or output jack leads are short not to break them.
Step 4 - Using a small flat head screwdriver remove the leads from the Obsidian Wiring harness
Step 5 - Remove the pickups from the pickguard using a phillips screwdriver
Step 6 - Install the new pickups into the pick guard and insert the hot and ground leads according to the instructions. Hot is white black is ground
Step 7 - Plug a patch cable into the input check and plug the guitar into an amp. Use a low volume and clean channel. Touch the pickup magnets in relation to the pickup selector switch and you should hear a noise through the amp. It's good to do this to make sure you have not made a mistake.
Step 8 - If step 7 checks out reinstall the pick guard
Step 9 - Tighten the neck screws back up
Step 10 - Restring the guitar
Step 11 - Set the pickup height. It's that simple!
