1. Fact: Most guides and dvds that deal with guitar wiring are complete garbage. They skip over many important parts, and often their diagrams are wrong, or don't match up with what they are saying in the tutorial. I have spent a ton of time looking online and reading books and dvds. Most of them just left me with more questions than answers. My ebook blows them away.

2. I will show you step by step how to completely wire your guitar. Specifically, I go into detail describing the electronics for the Telecaster, Stratocaster, Esquire, and Les Paul guitars and all of their potentiometers, capacitors, switches, ground wires, hot wires, pickups, output jacks, and bridge grounds.  Even if you dont have a Fender or Gibson, this guide will teach you how to wire any guitar with 1, 2, or 3 pickups. I will also tell you where you can get the complete wiring kits online for dirt cheap, and give you some essential soldering tips.

3. No need to go to the guitar shop for electrical repairs.  Why not learn how to change your pickups, tone or volume controls, switches, and capacitors yourself? There are a ton of modifications you can do to your guitar for dirt cheap.

4. I will also show you some secret "hot rod" techniques that the pros use. This ebook will teach you how to do coil tapping, coil cutting, phase switching, series wiring, parallel wiring, bridge-on switching, mini toggle switching, varitone switching, mega switching, yamaha switching, blend pots, and more !!!

 

Table of Contents:

SECTION 1: WIRING A STRAT
The strat sound is a little more tapered with less highs and lows than other guitars, and more midrange. Much of the strat's popularity comes from it's hollow cavity in the body and it's neck and middle pickups. Perfect for playing the blues, jazz, or rock. These guitars are described as having a quacky or even smokey sound. This section will show you how to wire one.




SECTION 2: WIRING A TELE
The tele sound has a spiky sound, with more highs and lows than other guitars. It is well known for it's bright and twangy sound that comes from the bridge pickup and solid body. It is loved by many for its ability to perform country music, bluegrass, and even the blues. This section covers tele wiring.





SECTION 3: WIRING A LES PAUL
The Les Paul is THE guitar for playing rock music. Nothing will get your blood boiling more than one of these puppies combined with a vintage Marshall amp. The powerful humbucking pickups eliminate unwanted noise and give the guitar a fat and crisp sound. This section will show you Les Paul wiring for 2 wire and 4 wire humbuckers.





SECTION 4: UNDERSTANDING SWITCHES
Almost every guitar has some type of switch on it. They are essential for turning things off and on. If you are going to be doing any type of wiring, then you are going to have to know your way around 3-way, 5-way, gibson toggle, mini toggle, varitone, mega, and yamaha switches.





SECTION 5: UNDERSTANDING POTENTIOMETERS
Potentiometers, often referred to as pots, are variable DC resistors. They form the foundation of every good wiring job. This section deals with wiring volume, tone, blend pots, and push-pull pots.






SECTION 6: HOT ROD TECHNIQUES
Need to get some more sounds out of your guitar? If so, then try some of the hot rod techniques that the pros use. This section covers phase switching, series/parallel wiring, coil tapping, coil cutting, and volume boost/bypass switches.





SECTION 7: ADDING A DISTORTION PREAMP TO YOUR GUITAR
Sick of hauling around distortion and overdrive pedals to all of your gigs? Why not just add the distortion directly to your guitar's wiring? Seems pretty logical to me. This section will show you how to make your tone knob a distortion pedal.






SECTION 8: QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
What the heck are potentiometers and capacitors and what do they do? How do I wire a humbucker with 4 wires? How do I wire a stereo output jack? How do I use a multimeter? If you have questions like these, then this section is for you.
