The mainstays of guitar electronics want to show you how to do it too!

Seymour Duncan understand guitar electronics. Changing pickups can seem easy enough, though there’s a few skills involved that can make a mess of both your control cavity as well as tone if done wrong.

Guitar tech can be intimidating, confusing, lack a certain glamour associated with playing. Most of us just wanna play. But it’s impossible to overstate how much better—and more creative—you’ll play after learning even the basics. Because your tone is everything. The easiest way to improve your tone is to experiment with different pickups. By learning to install them yourself you’ll unlock every possibility. “Pickup Installation 101” will give you the knowledge, tools, and confidence to customise your guitar and perfect your tone.
