i like that mini guitar. Is it still available? Id like to get it for my little brother.

I've been looking at used acoustics just for the hell of it. And a lot of the nice ones that are cheap usually say that the truss rod is "bad" or just broken. I was wondering how hard it is to repair that? I know it's not as easy as fixing a strat, but is it something i could do? I've heard that truss rods are either good or bad, and if it's not good, then you have to replace it. Is that true also???

like, if you had two tbx pots, would it mean that if you put both at ten there would be A LOT more treble than normal?

I just put a TBX tone pot in my guitar and it sounds awesome! But i was wondering if you can put two in there? Would it be double the tone? Probably not, but it sounds cool. Also, i just got one of those tone mod circuits that is basically a pot with a microchip on it. It's called an artec 5-way tone control circuit. Will i be able to use the TBX with the circuit?

I just got this Cort Strat i have repaired because i put a different pickup in the neck position and it stopped working after about 5 minutes. Anyways, i dont want to risk opening up the pickguard and pulling off a wire. So im wondering if there's anyway to stop the loud hunmming that only stops when i touch the jack plate or the screws holding in the pickup selector. Or do i just have to risk it? And if i do open it up, what should i look for or what should i wire to make it stop humming?

Basically im looking for a basic runthrough about how i should use a mutimeter while wiring a guitar.

how come the switch works all the time for the bridge pickup, but not for the neck? Is that just another 8th wonder of the world?

Hey everyone, I just bought a 1970s Cameo Les Paul copy and after changing the nut, fixing one of the tuners, and adjusting the action, i decided to plug it in. It sounded really nice but when i moved the switch to the neck pickup, no sound came out. I looked at the wiring and nothing was missing or came off. So, after re soldering a few questionable points, the neck pickup started working. But after i switched to the bridge and back to the neck, it turned off again. Now it just phases in and out. Is there any reason why this is happening???
-
What does it mean when the tone knob can affect the volume? Are there wires accidentally hitting achother or something? Also, sometimes when i rewire the pots, the volume onnly works at 9 and ten, but shuts off below 8... It's a stock strat.

How To Put A Tone Knob In A Non-tone Knob Guitar
Hendrxapprentice posted a topic in Electronics Chat
How would i put a tone knob or some kind of circuit in a guitar with a volume, coil tap and three way pickup changer? Would it have to be something like a circuit pot that makes extra bass and treble or can i just use an extra tone knob??? -
I was wiring a whie ago and i had bought a push pull volume pot, then all of the sudden a flame sparked from inside the pot. Now unless i have some pyrokinetic power i dont know about, id say tis is impossible. All i was doing was wiring the pot with a regular soldering iron that i use all the time. Do you think this pot its still able to be used????

There's an article in here about how to make a black ive overdrive instead of buying one for 25 bucks. Ansil Gregory says to just buy a schottky diode and put them over a tone pot. But where should i buy a schottky diode, which kind should i get, and how should i put them on???
