I am going to pull the pickups out of my PSG to get them potted. I have never done this before. The guitar is an MSA Classic.
Are there any simple tricks that I should know?

It looks like I will have to take out several C6 belly rods to get at the wiring harness with my soldering iron. I am debating pulling the whole harness or trying to get at the solder points while it is still installed....
Any tips would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks.

Hard to give you real good advice without seeing the bottom of your guitar. I have generally been able to draw a wiring diagram before unsoldering anything, so I know exactly where to put the wires back. Then, you should be able to get in with a pencil type soldering iron and disconnect the pickup leads without taking the underside of the guitar apart. Put your guitar upside down in the case, on a table for easy access. Good luck! Larry J.
