I've been reading a lot about guitar pedal circuitry and building pedals and it's fascinating! Planning on picking up a breadboard soon and testing out some circuits. After, that I'll move on to building kits with PCBs. If that goes well, I'll start sourcing parts myself. Lots of resources and knowledge to soak up. Here's a breadboard kit with the jacks and an off/on switch built onto the board.

And then there are a lot of companies that sell DIY kits, such as AionFX.

Anybody build their own pedals?

I built one from StewMac. It was a ton of soldering, lol. I evidently had one bad solder joint somewhere, and I just haven't gone back and tested to find where it is. It doesn't work so I guess I was unsuccessful. The light works from the switch, but somewhere in the signal chain I have a bad solder. It was fun though.

Finally started the kit guitar I got last summer. Going for a yellow tinted lacquer on this one. Last guitar I left flat - this one I'm trying to get it shiny with the Mohawk instrument lacquer.

I was actually impressed by the neck. No fret sprouting and only two frets needed leveling. I'll post a picture when it's done next weekend, hopefully. Trying to decide between black and white pick guard, since I have them both. Going to go with cheap electronics since I'm most likely leaving this at my wife's store for display. (And so I can get it down and play it when I'm here in the future lol)

Has anyone else been enjoying this series??? I bought the booklet, but haven't received it yet (although I assumed it was a digital download, guess I'll have to wait & see!)

Thanks Dave for finding it for it!

Long shot, but new (to somebody) guitar at one point…

Does anyone know the song at 7:30. Sounds very familiar but nothing is clicking.

I think it's a sign that you should learn to play it!

I'm a few lessons in and have been enjoying it. I really like his teaching style and the 90s vibe is great.

You should have been redirected to the download page after purchasing the guide. I don't think I ever got an email with the download link. Shoot ne a PM and I can point you in the right direction.
