Check it out! Reader Mike Taylor tried to share this cool wiring diagram worksheet in the forum, but sadly, my meager WordPress forum plug-in doesn’t support uploads. It’s so handy and nicely done that I present it here. (Right-click to download.)
It’s an MS Word file, with the graphic elements for pickup wiring diagrams embedded as selectable objects. Mike has included all the most popular components, plus some not-so-popular ones of the sort we like to obsess on here. I’m totally going to use this to create future wiring diagrams for the site and elsewhere.
Some notes from Mike:
It can be used to start laying out wiring diagrams by drawing interconnections in Word, or I guess you could just position the building blocks on a page, print it out, and hand draw the connections. The little dots next to the representations of pickups can be changed to match the colour codes of your pickups. All objects are just simple shapes grouped together and set so they preserve their aspect ratios. Hopefully, shrinking and enlarging shouldn’t be too problematic. Anyone can change or add to it, as it’s unprotected. If anyone finds it useful, I hope they do their own thing with it.
Thanks, Mike! :beer:
Anyone else got cool resources like this to share? Don’t be shy — stand and deliver!

For those who have Microsoft Visio, this site provides excellent guitar stencils for free. The attached photo shows only the pickup shapes but there’s much more.

This is awesome! Thank you!
Hi
the VISIO templates look cool! ( I think I must have pinched the coloured dots idea from someone using these … Seymour Duncan ??)
Seeing the VISIO templates has given me a few more things to add to my attempt…as I think VISIO isn’t free (and I’m a cheapskate!)
I forgot to mention that a simple / FREE bit of software that help when laying out strip board / perf board / pcb’s is available at

Thanks Joe and Mike!
does anyone have a download link for these stencils? I have tried requesting access on the site, but have made no progress. I would really just like to download them from anyone that has them available, please.
thanks!
