Guitar circuitry, standard strat wiring with gain boost switch?

---

---

I recently "reacquired" my first electric guitar, which i wanna fix up and sell. It plays really nice (nicer than when i learnt on it) but i cant figure the electronics.
I recently built my own guitar from scratch with no problems, so i have a rough idea of what goes on inside a guitar, but this one has stumped me.

Its a strat style with three single coils, volume, 2x tone and a 5way switch, easy peesy. But there's also a 9v battery attached for a gain boost, this includes a small circuit board within the circuit and a little switch on the pickgaurd. When i received the guitar the circuit had various loose wires and did not work so i don't know how it was to start with, i know this is a long shot but if anyone can help it would be much appreciated!

I can provide pictures and/or more detail if required

thanks
Dan

Try searching for a circuit diagram for your brand of guitar. If that is a bust and your circuit board is still a problem, try searching for a wiring diagram of a Strat. You can rewire the guitar like a Strat and remove the battery powered pre-amp entirely. Three pieces of advice, if you are going to keep doing this sort of thing... 1) get a good soldering iron, like an Antek... something with a low wattage or an adjustable temp, and a fine tip. 2) get an inexpensive multimeter and learn how to check continuity with the resistance setting. (I prefer one that makes a sound when there is continuity.) 3) get a couple of heat sinks to protect the stuff you are soldering.
Be aware, working on circuit boards is tricky and a really good way to destroy a circuit board. (a solder sucker or wick is nice too) Heating up a solder joint on a board to work with it requires more heat than just putting the component on the board in the first place did.
Best of luck!

The classic look of the deck shoes owe a lot to the Native American moccasin design, which has been created from a one piece of soft leather, with topstitching. These shoes retain the comfort due to the softness of the leather.
