There is soldering involved. You need a good soldering iron and solder before you start. With your strings removed you must unscrew the pickup, find where the pickups wires are soldered to the guitar, heat that point up so the solder melts and you can free the wire and pickup, then just bring in the new pickup and solder its wires to the same point making sure you have the right configuration. Then you plug it in and see if it makes noise to make sure it is connected, then just put everything back together. Changing pickups would be like level 2 difficulty of guitar maintenance, where 1 is changing strings and 3 would be trying to fix a snapped truss rod. I would say if you dont have any experience with soldering you may not want to try on your guitar first and opt to take it to a tech to have the pickups changed. this link explains in more detail: www.ultimate-guitar.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-88525
