“Man, I wish I’d had this book when I first became obsessed with electric guitar wiring and mods! Gerry Hayes’s Complete Guitar Wiring is both a how-to book for beginners and a reference manual for the experienced. The explanations are clear yet substantial. The diagrams are gorgeous. It’s equally useful for troubleshooting and finding new inspiration. Complete Guitar Wiring already has a permanent home on my workbench tablet.”
Joe Gore, Joe Gore Guitar Pedals, editor, Premier Guitar
“Out of all the guitar books on the market—tech, coffee-table, and otherwise—I haven’t seen any that provides such thorough yet accessible instruction in the art of electronics and wiring. Not only has Gerry Hayes identified a real gap in the available resources, but he has done a phenomenal job of filling it with a book that’s comprehensive and detailed while also very approachable, offering plenty to beginner, novice, and experienced DIY’ers alike. Well done!”
Dave Hunter, author Fender 75 Years, The Electric Guitar Sourcebook, The Guitar Pickup Handbook
“This book was made for goobers like me who don’t like to read or decipher obtuse hieroglyphs to get through a $20 guitar wiring project. Thank you Gerry Hayes for doing your part to get some of us out of abject poverty. You are the Prometheus of electrons. “

Best book on the subject. Thank you Gerry!
Wow. Thank you. ☺️
Just bought my copy. Looking forward to going through it!
This book made life much easier for me unless you know everything about wiring do yourself a favor and keep it by your soldering iron.
