Yes you can. I did it years ago when one broke before a show years ago.
I just looked at mine to refresh my memory what I did. I remembered trying to remove that skinny circuit board but stopping when I worried about snapping it in half when some of those plastic anchors didn't want to release. So I clipped the J-wire about 1/2" from the circuit board, leaving enough to solder a guitar string to. I vaguely remember having a little trouble getting the solder to stick well and needing to do it a couple times, I probably used a greasy used string or something. My memories a little fuzzy as it was over 25 years ago - but it did work.
