Printed Electronics roll-to-roll

I hate Best Buy. They are inherently more expensive than a lot of other retailers. They have terrible return policies, had the poorest rating for customer service last year, and the management consists of a bunch of douchebags. If you have ever visited the site bhphotovideo(.)com, then you realize how overpriced retail stores are for electronics. The great thing, is that stores like HHGregg will haggle price with you because they get commission on sales, just like a car dealership. Do your research on the web, get the price and information printed out and walk in there. They will try to say something like, "Well a lot of those interent companies are fly-by-night and aren't reliable or even exist

I have a 70's Les Paul Custom copy. It's actually a pretty decent one from what I read on the interwebs. Anyway, I bought some upgraded pickups, and opened the control cavity for the first time to find the pots mounted on a fucking printed circuit board, like Gibson is doing now. Ok, fine. So I desolder the old PUPS and solder up the new ones. And the shit don't work. A little research found me that those PCB's have really fragile traces on them and they seem to hold up to the initial solder-on at the factory but the heat of a desolder and resolder just kills them. The pots were probably fine, and I could have completely freed them from the board and used them in a 'normal' configuration, but I wanted a new switch anyway so I got a complete wiring kit on Ebay for $16, and did the deed...
