To gain access to the area we are going to put the leds we must remove the strings and the pickups from your guitar.
1. the strings are easy to remove, simply loosen the tuners until the strings comes out of the tuning peg, you do not need to remove it from the bridge just simply so they are not over the pickups.
2.Next we need to remove the pickups, there are usually 4 screws you want to remove, and 2 that you do not. These 2 adjust the height of the pickup. The 4 you want to remove are normally found on the corners of the pickups. Be gentle when removing the screws and especially when you move the pickup. They are connected by a wire and pulling on them to0 hard can disconnect it. see pictures for which screws to remove.
