Description:
This book is for anyone interested in the electric guitar. It explains how the electronic functions of the instrument work together, and includes information on the various pickups and transducers that can be fitted. There are complete circuit diagrams for the major types of instrument, as well as a selection of wiring modifications and pickup switching circuits. These can be used to help you create your own custom wiring. 
Along with the electric guitar, sections are also included relating to acoustic instruments. The function of specialised piezoelectric pickups is explained and there are detailed instructions on how to make your own contact and bridge transducers. 
The electronic projects in the book range from simple preamps and tone boosters to complete active controls and equaliser units. These can be used with both bass and six-string guitars. Most of the circuits can be fitted inside instruments, or could form the basis of external effects and processing units. There are sections on noise reduction and screening, as well as plans for a complete dynamic noise gate. The book also contains a step-by-step guide to setting up a guitar after customisation.
