Anybody know how he wired his "tiger guitar"? Thinking of making one based of the WGD what I think stands for Warmoth's Grateful Dead  :cool01

jk here is a diagram,. looks like it had a little opamp style preamp too... it doesn't show the wiring on the breakout board though, but i think i got that covered.

Good information here:

And the the GD equipment forums are the best resource for all GD equipment questions (most of which have probably been answered if you search):

it's not as complicated as it looks. it's just disorganized

you can get the buffer/preamp breakout board pre made here... http://www.wald-electronics.com/wald-electronics_shop/tiger_preamp_clone.html

then you have 2 pickup splitters, very common, just a shunt for the series link. a strat 5-way switch, and individual tone controls. the neck and bridge tone control are a stacked(non concentric) pot so they are wired just like individual tones, then the only weird thing is the effects loop that makes use of a stereo cable that gets injected after the buffer and before the volume.
