SOLID SOUND
BY ERIC DAW
For the first time, Eric Daw shares his essential solid body guitar wiring schematics—from the classics of the ‘50s and ’60’s, to the more obscure and secretive circuits he’s designed and collected over the years, this is your go-to when no other circuit will do.
23 schematics for wiring vintage and modern single-coil, solid-body guitars.
Soft cover, saddle-stiched, just like the vintage electronics booklets we all love.
reviews
“This book is fantastic. I've worked on my own guitars for years, but wiring was never my thing. Eric Daw's book not only contains really cool wiring configurations but has gone a long way towards demystifying electronics for me. I've learned tons from Eric's podcast, The Fret Files, and now, even more from this books”

“I have been a professional luthier for over 15 years and was a little worried the info in "Solid Sound" would be redundant. Wow, was I wrong! This is a fantastic reference for hobbyists and professionals alike.”
— Eben C.
“Eric's Solid Sound book is going to be an invaluable resource in my workshop. The wiring diagrams are easy to read and understand. Being able to offer a number of different wiring alternatives and knowing that these are tried and trued wiring options is definitely going to make me feel more confident about moving beyond the standard/factory wiring options and I am certain it will lead to further experimentation. I also really like that these modified wiring diagrams call for very few extra parts and zero mods to the actual guitar body. It has already found a home on the shelve next to my soldering station”

— Jay Boone, Emerald City Guitars, Seattle, Wash.

— Bill Frisell, American Guitarist, Composer and Arranger
