benno Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Okay here we go, 1st ill introduce myself i am 16 years old, have nevr built a guitar before, but have been playing for quite a few years, I live in AUstralia and im at school on year 11. I do a subject called Deisgn and Technology and can design and build anything that satisfys a need. And a need is to have private practise time without having to have anything more than a guitar. And also it is very quiet type of practise as well... anyways.. what i was thinking was................. Now i have very little experience with amps and electrics except for changing pickups. Anyway i was thinking that maybe you could put a tiny little amp in the guitar just before the out put jack then adding a headphone jack to the guitar. The style of guitar would probly be a sratocaster style. And i realise i could only have no effects what so ever. One amp i was looking at is here ..very small, fit easily into a strat with a little bit more routing Has this been done before, is it possible? And for anyone else in AUstralia looking at making a guitar for DT dont steal my idea Cheers Guys, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Page_Master Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 hey ben it is possible. it would be cheaper if you knew a bit about electronics though. like for example, if you got a mini pre amp kit, like what they have at Jaycar, connected to a power source, and if you wanted to, took apart a boss distortion pedal and added it before the jack then it went into the pre amp to headphones, it would work. you might have to study the **** for a while though as it sounds like an operation.

Little Bit Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Easily possible. These go for about $25-30 U.S. and they might even have a distributer near you. I own several, they sound amazing for a tiny little practice amp. http://zinky.com/Smokey.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
