Ok, I know this is a really........really........really stupid question but I need to know. I'm putting together a guitar with 2 single coil pick ups kinda like a mustang. (Diagram below). The pick ups I am buying come with some wire, which i will use to wire the pick ups to the pick up selectors etc. But what kind of wire do i need to use on the tone pots, voulme, ground, selectors, input etc. Thank you. Diagram

also i probably would go easy on the finish/lacquer, as you know could probably ruin how fast the neck is

i actually got my hands on a small guitar and some yard sale, but i pretty much have to rebuild it, it is in horrible shape. I think the neck is maple? fretboard is ebony. Im not sure about the body. I plan to but some dimarzio blues humbuckers in there, i dont know if that will work, but thats my plan for my small guitar

Thank you sorry. Here is the correct link Guitar

Many of you by now should know the situation i am in, seeing as i have made many many posts concerning it on different subjects but here;s the story again. Bought an old guitar want to fix it up. On the back of the guitar there are multiple scratches and dents that look more like paint damage then anything. I put some black paint on there to cover it up for now, but it actually dried lighter then the orginal surface. So now I need to know what i should do to touch up these spots. What kind of paint, what brand, how much, etc. So far all that i can gather maybe is sand down the paint i just put on, but thats all. Thank you.

I ve been looking around for a more professional type of guitar, and i saw on musicians friend this Joe Satriani (ahh love him) model. Looks awesome with coil tapping, and just..awesome. Pretty cheap for about 680. Guitar Tell me what you think by the description or by first hand experiance. Also please recommend another guitar around this price range (300-800). Thank you.

Thank you guys so much, I can't wait to get crackin on it

Cool thank you so so much, you have defintly helped me, not only on this thread but...mostly every other thread I have posted/been on. Thank you.

thats like a plan, how hard is it to sand like albolane or MOP? Also I guess, the danger of keeping the frets on the board when i sand is that it will sand down the fret and make it awkward to play. How easy is it to sand down a fret like that?

what if they both are active at the same time?

I just got a mustang type guitar with two sliding switches (on-off) above each pick up. Can you explain to me how these switches work in place of a toggle or a 5 way switch.

I need a .05 MFD Capacitor for this awkward guitar set up (Wiring diagram included at the bottom). Somebody has shown me a .047 capacitor but I don't know what potential risks there are for that. Thank You Wiring Diagram

Errrrrr.....what are you exactly trying to do ? You say you want to change the inlays...from what to what, as i'm trying to think what you're planning to do with all this sawdust ? Are you: 1)... wanting to remove the old inlays and, using sawdust, try to make the board look as if it has no position markers at all. 2)... wanting to remove blocks or crowns and replace them with dots, hence the sawdust to fill in the larger cavity's 3)... remove some cheap plastic or MOToiletseat and replace them with MOP or Abalone and want to raise the bed as the existing inlays are deeper than the new material you want to inlay. In answer to some of your questions: Drilling: most inlay material is around 1mm > 1.5mm thick so you dont have to go very deep at all. If you have a brad point bit use that, the smaller the better until you get the first one out and see what you're up against. Use a hand drill if available as a power drill will be through to the rod in no time . Once you've broken through the middle of the first one use whatever's at hand to gouge the remainder out....carefully. Sawdust: All woods will, with the exception of ebony, change colour when their dust is mixed with glue, they tend to go lighter or darker. Ebony still changes colour (tends to go darker) but it's much less noticable than with other woods. Superglue: Use the thinnest you can get so it will seep into the dust uniformly, don't use epoxy unless you're doing something big like the full headstock or the back of a banjo. Precautions: Don't drill through the neck or your fingers Hope this helps, Jem ← I just want to take out the old inlays and put new ones in. I think the old ones ar elike white clay and the new ones will be mother of pearl or something. Frankly I cant even see why I would need sawdust because they both will be circles, and you won't be able to see the sawdust or glue, if i did it right.

heh im not mathmatically gifted... so does that mean a .047 could work in place of a .05? if so, what are some of the possibilites of damage or affects

those links dont work for me, i think they only work for the person who did the search, could you list the names of those books? ← Thank you!

closes iv found is 0.047uf on axes'r'us http://www.axesrus.com/axeknobs.htm ← what would happen if i subsitute that one for a .05, anything..dangerous, damaging?

Ok heres the story. Bought an old guitar, want to fix it up, found out i can change inlays and now I'm considering it. I looked at some of the older posts about changing inlays. About like drilling them out and then filling the hole with sawdust and superglue, then putting it in. I have questions in some of the more specific parts of this procedure. So here they are: 1. How far exactly should I drill into the inlay and what type of drill bit 2. Can the sawdust you put in the hole be from any kind of sawdust, i personally rather not sacrifice my fretboard to create new sawdust. 3. What kind of super glue should i use 4. Any precautions i should be aware of? Thank you

I recently bought this mustrang/jag stang type guitar with two single coil pick ups and two sliding switches. I got a wiring diagram off of seymour duncan and it seems to go pretty well with my guitar as of now, but i have one question. If you click the link below it will bring you to the diagram and help you understand better. Wiring Diagram On one of the audio pots/shafts at the bottom you see what i guess is a capacitor (if it isnt, please inform me otherwise) and it says " .05 mfd" I checked all these onling guitar part stores and i dont see a .05 capacitor. Help?
