12 string acoustic guitar repair




Here is an acoustic guitar that didn't have part of the bridge tailpiece. I custom made a new one out of some mahogany due to the time and availability it would take to get a new tailpiece. These are before and after pictures.

DIY Headphone amp with volume knob





Recently I have been working on small electronics. Through the help of generalguitargadgets.com, pedalparts.com and Radio Shack I have put together a small guitar amp. I used an old Gibson pickup box and a generic circuit board. I already had most of the parts so I probably spent around $5 or so. I'm sure someone could build one for about $15-20 if they used a nice pedal box and other parts from the sites I referenced. I also modded the schematics by adding a volume control. I got the easy schematics from generalguitargadgets.com. This amp has clean and distortion. I will post other DIY projects in the near future.
