 A wealth of information in layman's terminology October 29, 2007

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.
A great book worth every penny! October 28, 2007

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.
excellent coverage June 24, 2008

Here is a book...finally...that covers many, many, types of guitars, and more importantly, different kindf of switches. If anyone has worked on wiring a guitar from a stock diagram, the switches and pots always look different, this book takes this into account and offers varying diagrams for many different switches and pots. THANKS!
Exhaustively detailed and comprehensive! A must have! July 23, 2008

This is a fabulous book. I have been building and customizing electric guitars for years and I got my money's worth in the first 20-30 pages of this book. It really expanded my understanding of different wiring and switch configurations as well as the use of capacitors to adjust the tone. Futhermore, I have much better understanding of how all the parts come together to create various sounds from vintage to modern, bell-like to growl. This book is overflowing with useful diagrams and photos as well. If you build, or customize guitars, this is an invaluable resource.
The BEST for guitar electronics. March 19, 2009

Tim has done his research, and presented it in a clear and easy to follow manual. I've been playing guitar for years, but recently became interested in building pre-assembled guitars. This book has been AMAZING, and I'd recommend it to anyone who is building, repairing, modifying, and upgrading.Nice work Tim!
