but it looks far more complicated but still cannot read the diagram. if anyone could point me in the right direction i would be very greatful.


Try posting to sci.electronics.basics.

Perhaps a basic electronics course at your local community college, as well -- if you're not reading schematics yet there's probably a _lot_ of other stuff you also need to pick up.

thanks for the input, problem is that where i live, there arent community colleges. and even if they were, they wouldnt speak english. im going to do a lot more research and if all else fails ill just get a kit. thanks!

that site was given to me. it seems to be very helpful and i think its everything i need to learn about it. its seems to be very basic and good for beginners. anyways thanks everyone for the help.

I was afraid that would be your situation -- oh well.

In that case keep asking -- and building kits is a good way to pick this stuff up.

You're better of with a complete kit rather than just a plan. Or else you might still be stuck in plans when the day comes that your friend leaves.

Here's one for $6.95

For a guitar, you need a preamplifier as well:
