Desoldering

Here's the guts of the old pickguard, with everything still connected.



The desoldering of some of the old components was a pain, especially the ground connections to the pots. There was a TON of solder on those bad boys. I enlisted the help of my Stepdad since I had never desoldered anything before, and it took about an hour but we got all the old pickups disconnected from the pots and 5 way switch.
