Jaycar guitar kits

Post by wifiabc »

I'm surprised that Jaycar sells guitar electronics kits. Strangely, instructions have to be purchased separately. Shouldn't instructions be part of a kit?

Wonder if this is something like ruby / little gem.

I wonder what the "Twang-o-matic" kit does?

Shimming the neck pocket with a 20c piece will do that

not only do you have to buy the book for the instructions but you also have to buy more than just the one kit. I got the distortion kit (just to have ago at my first pedal)...then on the kit it says you have to buy a power supply kit to run it......so I got that as well...then I find out you have to buy a "special" power supply plug that they no longer sell in new zealand :? ...so I never did get my "pedal" going. From what I have read on line the distortion pedal is terrible anyway so I have never bothered finishing it. I think by the time you buy all the kits you probably have spent $60 so you might as well buy a beta aivin or one of the other cheapies on TM
