5.0 out of 5 stars A wealth of information in layman's terminology, October 29, 2007

By	Pete No-H Townsend "Pete" (Virginia Beach VA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Guitar Electronics Understanding Wiring and Diagrams: Learn step by step how to completely wire your electric guitar (Paperback)

I acquired this book in e-book form to assist me with several electric guitar rewiring projects, including pickup upgrades and replacement of potentiometers ("pots") and other wiring. I found a wealth of information presented in easy-to-understand, non-technical terminology, with many clear illustrations to show exactly how to connect everything. There is instruction in soldering basics and necessary tools to help the amateur guitar technician get the job done. If you want to repair the electronics in your guitar, or do your own upgrades and experiment with different wiring and control options, this book will help you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book worth every penny!, October 28, 2007

This review is from: Guitar Electronics Understanding Wiring and Diagrams: Learn step by step how to completely wire your electric guitar (Paperback)

This book is perfect the guitarist ready to dive in to the complicated world of guitar electronics. Not only does the book show you how to wire a guitar, it also helps you understand the wiring designs more clearly, so that you can come up with your own wiring schemes. I really found the info on wiring an unknown 4 wire humbucker very useful for my own projects. If you play through humbuckers like me, then you should coil cut them in order to get a ton of additional sounds. Very useful book.

This review is from: Guitar Electronics Understanding Wiring and Diagrams: Learn step by step how to completely wire your electric guitar (Paperback)

I just started learning about guitar wiring and thought I would give this ebook a chance - very glad I did. Procedures are simple to understand and the diagrams and pictures are great. I would buy it again if I lost the one I have.
