I want to understand the different parts of an amp. Is there a good website that walks through a simple amp layout explaining each part in the chain and what it does?

I've searched the forum but haven't found an answer to my question. If I have 2 P-90's and want the out of phase sound, does it matter which one I stick the phase switch on? Will switching the neck out of phase sound different than taking the bridge out of phase or as long as one is out of...

your tele weigh? There seems to always be LP threads on this but no tele ones so lets hear it!! I have a baja tele that weighs in at 10 lbs. Plays and sounds sweet :1:

I searched but couldn't find what I was looking for. My 8 yr old son has a cheap acoustic and I was going to wire in a sc to it so he could mess around through an amp. pickup -> volume -> output jack Does this need to be grounded to the bridge? I would assume so but I'm not sure. Thanks...

I have a guitar I'm trying to tune and intonate and tonight the high e suddenly is acting as a drone to the low e and A strings. It has a phase type swelling sound to it. It's really weird? Anyone have this happen before?

I can't for the life of me find or put together a schematic for what I want to do. I have 2 p-90's with 2 tone, 2 volume and no 3 way switch. I want to have the bridge one on a switch that does in phase, and out of phase and it will be a DPDT center off switch. I also want the neck and bridge...

If I have a guitar with 2 P-90's in it and want to do phase switching, do I wire each up to a phase switch? Will in phase neck/out of phase bridge sound the same as out of phase neck/in phase bridge? Thanks!

I feel dumb posting this but I couldn't find anything searching. Do the lugs on pots have specific uses i.e. a certain position is the ground, middle is output or anything like that? I can follow a diagram easy enough but now I'm trying to modify them and my understanding is lacking. Talk...

I haven't been able to find a schematic anywhere on this and I'm not good enough to modify ones on my own. I am getting two Lace Sensor Aluma 90 pickups (basically P-90's and 3 wires) and here is what I'm looking for: Bridge Neck Neck and bridge in series in phase Neck and bridge parallel in...

Does anyone have or can take a picture of what a P-90 looks like with the cover off?

This originally started as sheets of plexiglass from a hockey rink. I have a Danelectro neck to put on it. Next up is f holes and the neck pocket. It sure has been an experience! I still have a lot left to do but it was pretty much learning on my own to get to this point as far as...

I love the crunch on the 4 chords they play right before the chorus where he comes in " Imma do the things....." so is that just a good crunch or is there some fuzz in that? My ears won't tell me

birdseye maple necks? This kind of ties into Phil_104's thread below about the lite ash strat. I've been looking at getting a lite ash tele but the neck has been holding me up. The local GC by me said the chain doesn't carry them anymore because the necks had a tendency to warp. I've...

Can anyone tell me the difference between a U2 neck and a 59 neck? They have both at allparts.com and I'm thinking about slapping one of those on a project I'm working on along the lines of a plexiglass 335 style body. My next step is routing the neck pocket so I'm kind of stuck till I figure...

the Yamaha Wes Borland signature model? In the picture I saw of it there is something that sticks out from the side of the nut and I have no idea what it is? I'm not that big on the guitar just curious what it is...
