Active Electronics
Active electronics can add a lot of fun to a project, as well as save you a lot of soldering. Options range from simple buffers and pre-amps to tone controls to on-board effects.
One of the fun things about building electric guitars is wiring them up. Factory wiring tends to be simple, minimizing the amount of fussy handwork required. Many manufacturers keep strictly to 'classic' designs, seldom if ever changing anything. These designs are generally simplistic, often crude or even stupid, and sometimes outright flawed. There is no need for you to do this. I don't. Here are some of the things I have done over the years. I don't claim to have invented any of this, although some of these schematics I have never seen anywhere else, and had to derive them myself.

A while ago I said I couldn't find where the new Nivo Slider slideshow plugin (above) keeps its data. That's because it doesn't keep it anywhere. It generates each slideshow on the fly from scratch, with lord-knows how many database calls. I suspected that it was grossly inefficient, and I was right.
