Hey guys this is my first post.
I've been interested in lutherie for a long time but couldn't find a good way to get into it. After getting Mike Orr's book for my last birthday , I've been excited about CGB guitar.
I live in a small apartment so just started building amp kits from cb gitty. Now I'm wondering about other wiring possibilities . like. Can I make a more powerful amp with more batteries. could I make an amp with an xlr input. Could I wire a lavalier mic to a pontentiometer.
I was just wondering what a good hackwiring resource book might be. I've learned a lot from the music factory book and am trying to understand what I am doing better.
thanks in advance
Kirby

In particular look at the Little Gem and Ruby amps.
