This project has been a long time coming. I’ve been dreaming, planning, even plotting how exactly to make this a reality. There are a few (pricey) premade options on the market, but I’ve never been one to pay up for convenience if I can figure it out.

In this post, I will give a brief rundown of what is in the modular guitar field, then I’ll go into what I want to create, and finally will go over what I’m thinking so far as I begin to acquire all the parts I need and come up with first drafts of my design.

Once I begin building I’ll upload updates, problems, and anything I’ve learned along the way in a new post to this category.

So… patience isn’t really my strong suit. The guitar I had planned to turn into my modular hot-swapping prototype is as of yet just a body, and one that needs a lot of work before it can be anything more.

With that in mind, I just picked up a guitar that has been having electrical issues ever since I got it, and the tone potentiometer sticks when I turn it… and that’s just not gonna cut it for me.

I figured I can speed up when I have a prototype and fix this guitar by feeding two birds with one hand! (I don’t like the metaphor of killing birds, and a friend from my ecopsychology cohort said something to that effect and I love it!)
