I'm soldering a detached wire back onto a guitar knob on my Ibanez electric. Any advice/experience on this?
It's a wire that came off a volume knob (inside the guitar). I am buying a soldering iron, but want to get the correct materials. Anyone done this before or have any advice?
Sorry to be uniformed, but what's a "pot?" Is it the end of the soldering iron?
"Pot" is short for potentiometer and is the electronic component that the knob is attached to. When you open the back of your guitar it's the round thing with three contacts sticking out from it. As was mentioned in a previous answer, only heat the metal just enough to melt the solder. If you heat it up too much you could damage the pot.
You should use flux core electrical solder. The "flux" is a flowout agent for the solder and helps it cling to the metal. When you are done the solder should appear shiny. If it is dull or satiny it will not conduct as well. Detach and try again. Don't worry, it's not rocket science. Just be careful not to touch the finish of your guitar with a hot soldering iron or it will melt.
