Chapter 7: Modifications Dozens of wiring mods to change the tone, switching, or operation of an instrument to better fit the ideas in your head. From the everyday to the esoteric, there's plenty of inspiration here.

Guitar Wiring Graphics

Dozens of graphics in Adobe Illustrator and Affinity Designer formats. Also includes PSD, SVG, and PNG formats that will work in most graphics apps and can be used to make some great-looking wiring diagrams. Pickups, pots, switches, components, and more are covered in the 'Parts' graphics and there's an additional pack of pickup and switch layout graphics that allow you to indicate which pickup is active in which position.

There's even a bonus 'Wiring Brush' for the Procreate app. Import it for easier and cleaner wire and cable lines. A personal use license is included with this bundle and it can up upgraded to commercial later if required.

Switch Mapping Worksheets

Switch Mapping Worksheets break out every individual position on a switch and clearly show the active wiring lugs in each. This makes it easy to build your wiring up step by step. It turns an annoying job into one that’s a lot less hassle.

PDF versions for printing and JPG for import into graphics apps. Draw your wiring in stages and make life easier.
