When I was writing Complete Guitar Wiring, I needed some great-looking pickup and component graphics. I was pretty picky about this and didn't think anything available felt 'professional' enough to use in my book.
These are the exact graphics I used to create the wiring diagrams and modification circuits in my book. They're professional-looking, easy to use, and available for use in your own wiring drawings
The Guitar Wiring Graphics package includes dozens of graphics in Adobe Illustrator (AI) and Affinity Designer format. Also includes PSD, SVG, and PNG formats that will work in most graphics apps. You'll find a full list of all the component parts here (link opens new window because there are a lot of them).

They come with instructions on use and even a basic 'getting started' guide to create a wiring diagram in the Procreate app on iPad*.
As well as all of the parts graphics, you’ll also find resources to make your own pickup 'maps'. These allow you to indicate which pickup or coil is active for each pickup switch position. There are heaps of common layouts (e.g. SS, SSS, HH, HSH, etc.) and all of the individual graphics to make custom pickup and switching layouts like that below.
The default brushes in the Procreate app are great for many jobs but creating wiring diagrams is not one of them. And, since Procreate is a likely entry-level app for someone new to this, I’ve made a new Wiring Brush that draws a nice line for adding wires and hook-up cables.

✔ There are no limitations based on numbers of seats, viewers, or readers and no limitations on the number of products you can produce.
For a list of all included component part and switch/pickup layout graphics, click here. The link opens a new file as there’s too much to neatly include on this page. All graphics are available in Adobe Illustrator, Affinity Designer, SVG, PSD, and PNG formats.
These graphics are available as a downloadable package containing the component graphics and the pickup/switch layout graphics. Native files are included for Adobe Illustrator (2022 and CC Legacy formats) and Affinity Designer. Also included are PSD, SVG, and PNG format for use in vector or other drawing applications.
Complete Guitar Wiring: Guitar Tech Bundle
The downloaded package is in compressed ZIP format. Most tablets and computers can open and expand this. If you’re using on a tablet, it probably makes sense to store the expanded files in your cloud storage but that’s not essential if you have space locally. The package is around 120MB when expanded.
Once expanded, you’ll find some instructions on use, including a walk-through of how to draw a very basic circuit in the Procreate iPad app*. Dedicated vector drawing applications like Affinity Designer, Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, etc. will make creating wiring diagrams even more easy (assuming you know how to use them, of course).
Things change. Maybe you bought Guitar Wiring Graphics just for yourself but now you’re creating drawings or products that might make you some money. Congratulations. You can upgrade your license from Personal to Commercial Use by clicking the button below.I’m taking a slight a detour for this email. It’s all related to the guitar wiring subject, though, so check it out.

As well as a new book, I’ve also got two new downloadable tools that I think many of you will find useful.
When I was writing Complete Guitar Wiring, I needed some great-looking pickup and component graphics. I was pretty picky about this and didn't think anything available felt quite 'right' to use in my book.
There’s a huge range of pickups, pots, switches, and other components and they're all available as PSD, SVG, and PNG files for inclusion in just about any graphics app. There's a list of everything that's included here.

These are the exact graphics I used to create the wiring diagrams and modification circuits in my book. They're professional-looking, easy to use, and available for use in your own wiring drawings.
And, as well as all those components, I’ve included a large selection of pickup layout ‘maps’ so you can indicate the active pickups for each switch position.
Guitar Wiring Graphics come with some instructions for use and a little bonus—a 'Wiring Brush' for the Procreate drawing app. Guitar wiring graphics are available at $20 for a personal use license. Click the link to learn more about Guitar Wiring Graphics.
Hs (humbucker Single Coil) Wiring Question
Many wiring circuits are straightforward or already planned out for you. The red wire goes here and the black wire goes there. But now and then, things get more complicated. Maybe it’s a crazy modded circuit or maybe it’s some wiring that just won’t do what you want.
Something that I’ve been doing for a while is using switch mapping worksheets like these to help me figure out the wiring for more involved circuits.
Switch Mapping Worksheets break out every individual position on a switch and clearly show the active wiring lugs in each. This makes it easy to build your wiring up step by step.
Real Electric Guitar
Let’s say I want to figure out the wiring for selecting a series of humbucker and split-coil switching for a HH-equipped guitar. It’s a complicated arrangement but having a Switch Mapping Worksheet can really help me build up each switch selection as if I’m dealing just with that one position. I draw in and ‘wire’ the switch on paper first, using the active wiring lugs in each switch position to achieve what I need.
Building things up step by step like this makes things much more easy to figure out. Then, when all positions are mapped, I can fill in the blanks to add any jumpers or other wiring so that the positions work with each other. For instance, above, I’ve ended up with an output for the bridge and for the neck pickups. I’ll need to join those in the final circuit to combine the outputs. I end up with something like below.
Looking at the final wiring diagram makes it seem complicated but because I built up each stage in isolation, the whole job was much easier.

I’ve packaged up a heap of common switches for these mapping worksheets (click here for a list). I’ve also included many common pickup layouts (and blanks for anything non-standard) for many of the switches. The worksheets can be printed for drawing on or can be used digitally in a graphics app. The come with instructions outlining some ways to use the templates.
Not everyone needs these Switch Mapping Worksheets but, if this is a job you sometimes have to do, I think you’ll find them really useful
It seemed to me that these two new tools complemented Complete Guitar Wiring quite nicely. So, I've created some bundles and built in a bit of a discount. All of this stuff is still available individually but you can save a few bucks buying a bundle.
Guitar Jack Wiring Guide & Tips
The first bundle is the Diagramming Bundle. Included is a digital copy of Complete Guitar Wiring ebook and a personal license for the Guitar Wiring Graphics. The Diagramming Bundle costs $55, saving $5.
The second bundle is the Guitar Tech Bundle. This includes everything we’ve talked about: A digital copy of Complete Guitar Wiring ebook, the Guitar Wiring Graphics, and the Switch Mapping Worksheets. The cost for the full Guitar Tech bundle is $60, saving you $10 overall.
One last thing to note: These tools are bundled only with the digital (ebook) version of Complete Guitar Wiring that's available from my website. I'm not able to offer bundling like this on the print edition sold through Amazon. Sorry.
