Not My Job ā€¦ Nevertheless: a Serious Hobby

Welcome to Coocoo Guitars, where I am sharing my insights, experiences, and lessons learned from the meticulous process of breathing new life into the instruments I love.

Interactive Wiring Diagrams

My wiring diagrams are something I am particularly proud of: I have put a lot of effort into making these interactive ā€“ you can click through the pickup combinations and see how the current flows.

Happy to hear from you

Consider this a growing collection of resources where I dissect guitar tinkering, upcycling, wiring, and modification with as much clarity as time allows. Iā€™d be happy to receive feedback, corrections and suggestions. Thanks for visiting.

If you've come here looking for Cuckoocaster inspiration (Beyond the Stratosphere), you almost made it. You'll find templates and built designs by following this link to cuckoocaster.com.

The below image is such a template, in this case for the first Cuckoocaster from 2006 (or 2007, not sure anymore).
