@@WoodPortGuitars thanks for the kind words man! I really do enjoy watching you build them. Your guitars are spectacular for sure. I appreciate all your help. Thanks again for sharing! Have a great week!!!
Thanks for watching and great question. I am basically making a permanent tone knob. Different value capacitors will only pass certain frequencies. When you attach the capacitor from the plus side of jack to the minus side, the frequencies that will pass through the capacitor, pass on to ground not the amp. So you hear reduced high end. I was using a .01 Mfd capacitor. I got that value by a suggestion. Electric guitars will use different values, .047, .033, etc. Small ceramic and film capacitors use a code instead of the actual value. A .01 MFD will have 103 on the face. Depending on a person's knowledge of capacitors and RC circuits, it could take some time to explain. I should do a short video on that. Thanks man, great question
In that video that guitar has 0.046, 0.036, 0.026, and the guitar is tuned to EBE. I started using a slightly lighter gauge for GDG tuning, but I am really liking the EBE tuning with this gauge, feels more like an electric 6 string. Thanks for Watching!
Man….. I love your videos! You are so particular about what you are doing while making those beautiful CBG’s. Such a joy to watch! Thank you!!!
That is the best compliment ever! That helps keep me going. Thank you. Thank you for watching! Made my day!

It already sounds good acoustically.
Thank you. I think so too. I think I play them more acoustically than plugged into an amp. Thanks for watching!
Can you explain more and what capacitors to solder to the output jack. Never heard of it want to try it. Thanks man

@@WoodPortGuitars Thanks, I appreciate it.
What are the strings tuned at and what gauge do you typically use?
