8-)Hello: this is my 1st post here, seems like a very useful site!
here is what i'm up to: i just bought a new SRV model strat. i want to take the pick-ups out of my MIM robert cray strat and put them into the SRV. at the same time i change over the pick-ups, i want to put a new pickguard on the SRV.
for the cray, i plan to buy a set of S. Duncan lipsticks.
all i've ever done with a soldering iron before is i repaired a connection to the input jack that came loose on a strat. and i don't think i can read a schematic.
my question is: do you think it will be possible to do it myself? and: is there anybody on this board who lives within 100 miles of frankfort kentucky who would like to do these jobs for me at a reasonable amount of pay?

Wlecome to the Board. Yes of course you can do this yourself. Soldering is a bit an aquired skill but quickly learned. You do not describe trying to change configuration options, so it sounds like you are just changing pups and keeping the stock 5way configs. So that is emminently simple. There are numerous Standard Strat diagrams around. RW

Hey thunderbyrd, until about a month ago I was in pretty much the same boat (wow, that sounds like another one of those annoying ads!), but soldering is a doddle - unless you really try you can't go very wrong if you're just connecting a new pickup or three!
Also, I'd recommend doing it yourself- that way you'll be more confident the next time you want to poke around in your guitar! ;D
