Post Guitar Tech website

Does anyone know of a website that explains how the guitar works, and what can be done to tweak the sound?

A friend of mine gave me his old shitty guitar and I want to really mess with it, I'm even going to add a B bass string to it. But I'd like to give the guitar a very distinct sound, so if anyone knows of any sites that explains the guitar and it's workings it would be of great help!

Ah, thanks alot guys. You've all been a great help. I found out my friend knows an extensive amount about all this and he said he would do the specs I wanted. I'll post a picture of the guitar when I'm done.

Squier "bullet series". It's going to be the wierdist thing you'll ever see. I've got alot of good ideas for it.

A MIDI synth on a guitar? How very wierd.

Tom Morello has this patch on the side of his guitar that he taps with his guitar jack which sends a small volt into the guitar that produces a very wierd sound that he delays and then plays over it. I'm thinking of doing the same thing.
