I mean yes it definitely is in specific instances, obviously, but I'm not sure about mine. I'm getting a new baritone, (mandocello technically but 30" bass actually, just tuning it CGDA like a cello,) and I'm planning to put a Black Winter in it. I'm debating having the custom shop wind it on...

I have searched all over the internet, but I can't find a Strat-style switch with six positions. I didn't REALLY expect to though, so I'm not gonna lose sleep over it, (well, I guess it IS 6:20AM and I haven't gone to sleep but that's neither here nor there.) Basically, does anyone know of a...

Does anyone know where to get them? I asked GFS about their 10ks and the guy who answered didn't know. Anyone know what Epiphone's LP Special pickups are wound with? I'm chucking the magnet in any case, I only need the coils.

So, I'm trying to port a Showman circuit into a pedal-type enclosure, which of course means FETs in place of tubes! Exciting stuff but also, I really don't know what a lot of the data means because I don't know much of anything about tubes? Basically: I know the 12AX7 and 7025s can be replaced...

I'm making an archtop with a piezo, a lever switch and two pots; one of them is this awesome little preamp from GFS, and the other is going to be a tone pot with the switch acting as a varitone. My question is: should I go with a high-impedence (1meg) pot before the preamp, or a low-impedence...

I have a guitar wherein I've wired a humbucker between two P90s, working as two humbuckers (with the south coil in series with the bridge pickup and the north coil in series with the neck pickup.) Whenever the south coil is on the bridge pickup gives me almost no output, like the amp is all the...

I'm looking for a 100k push/pull but I haven't been able to find one in audio taper. Is linear that weird to use at 100k? I know it really threw me off when I was using a linear taper 1meg pot, but I also know there is a bit of a difference between the two values.

http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/schematics.php?schematic=prs_mod_1 I am not well-versed in the wiring of PRS switches, so I did some research and I am no longer sure this is a 2-pole switch (which may be supported by the other PRS diagram's relative complexity). Regardless...

I have a two-humbucker guitar with four knob holes and a lever switch; I've already decided I'm going to wire it volume, blend, tone, mini-toggle Esquire switch, five-way. How do I wire a five-way switch to be: Bridge series Bridge split Bridge split and neck split Neck split Neck series ...and...

I assume if you just use three on/off/on switches it'll work with the normal wiring, but can anyone tell me if it'll work with this modified wiring? (One DPDT is series/parallel instead of phase.) The guitar in question is going to have three concentric pots and three on/off/on switches. If...

Does anyone know where I can get some A6 bar magnets? I've been looking on Google and eBay and I got nothing.

Okay, how far off am I? I don't understand DPDT switches at all, from looking at diagrams I feel like I should have the wire to the master volume coming from the tone switch, but I also don't know if this will even do anything at all. The guitar is set up like a Gretsch (master/bridge/neck...

Anyone have experience with this pickup? According to the website it's supposed to be an approximation of a Wide Range humbucker; I find it hard to believe that it sounds too much like a Wide Range. But I digress. Has anyone tried this pickup, especially in a mahogany guitar?

Man, I really need to learn how to read switches in diagrams... How do I wire this? Like I understand the 123k and 392k cap part (unless they're 12.3k and 39.2k, then I guess I didn't understand them), understand the grounds, the other wire goes to hot... But what switch is this? Is it just a...

Apparently they're very hard to come by. Does anyone know where they might be sold? Alternatively: does anyone know how to make one? Center detent isn't important.
