Hand-Wired

Hand-wired refers to the method of assembling a guitar’s electronics or an amplifier’s circuitry by manually soldering each connection rather than using automated machines or printed circuit boards (PCBs). This traditional craftsmanship often means higher build quality, easier repairs, and sometimes improved tone, as components can be carefully selected and arranged.

Hand-wired gear is prized by enthusiasts and professionals who value attention to detail and vintage-style reliability. It usually comes at a premium but is seen as a mark of superior craftsmanship and durability.
