Wire It Up

At last, after what seems like an eternity of video editing, I’m ready to roll out this new series of videos about wiring up guitar electronics.   In these videos, I demonstrate how to lay out the components, select wire, strip and tin shielded wire, solder the backs of the pots, arrange the bundles of wires […]
