Where can i learn the basics?

[locrian06]

Hi there. I just wanted to ask if anyone knows any video online or website where i can learn the basics of the guitar electronics and all that stuff. The reason is that i´ve tried taking my guitars to some techs here in my city but due to bad experiences i´m not convinced about them anymore.
I think i better learn myself so i can repair my guitars.
Thanks!

I'd say you found it right here!

When I first found this forum I had only done a pickup swap (wire for wire). I had experience soldering so that gave me head start but I knew nothing else. This forum is a wealth of information if you just search for the things you want to find out about and spend some time reading. I've gone far beyond a simple pick up swap in the last several months and learned more about pickups and wiring and guitars in general, than I ever thought I'd know. From simple magnet swaps to the most complicated switching options, this is a great place to start!

Yeah this is the place, IMO. Best group of guys on the internet. Just ask - all your questions will be answered and you'll get the right answers - eventually! LOL! Lew
