    Guitar Pickup installation charges

    Does anyone know how much it costs to have a couple of pickups installed in Bombay or does someone here know a guitar technician who does a good job of installing pickups?

    @fr: Yes, on Wednesday.


    @shahrukh: Are there any resources you can point me to on the Internet that can help with installing a pickup? I understand that the pickups themselves do come with an instruction manual but if there was an online tutorial that would be great.

    Thanks very much shahrukh. Those links were really helpful. I'm replacing the stock PSND pickups on my Ibanez RG with a Seymour Duncan SH-2 Jazz and an SH-4 JB Model. The instructions seem simple enough. I will grab myself a soldering iron and some solder wick and get it done myself. I'll post pictures of the installation if I can.

    Thanks again.
