I have just purchased a 1959 Franz Pickup with no braided wire at the terminal connector on the baseplate.

Is it possible to solder new braided wire to the terminal or do I need to re wire the pickup?

Thanks

Maybe one of our nice mods will move this over to the tech thread...and fix the title...to get a faster response from our knowledgeable members.

If it looks like this, then yes - that is the purpose of the solder terminal.

It's exactly like that...thanks so much!

Btw the franz in the bridge position when at full volume doesn't increase in overall volume when the amp is turned up...any idea what is causing this?

Cheers

Just make sure the terminals and wires are really cleaned of oxidation before attempting to solder them.
