Chinese guitars ruleZ. This Squier has absolutely nothing wrong. No excuses at all for a pickup change or a part improvement. Lame.

It's almost impossible to break a transistor through mis-biasing or wrong values. I've never had it happen in almost 20 years. You are good!

Wrong voltage? Maybe.

If everything else is connected correctly R4 is sending negative feedback to Q1. It'll just be guitar signal. That's a lot of negative feedback, so the signal could be pretty weak, but it won't break anything.

I am definitely enjoying it

General Questions / Transistor Question

Consider this schematic.



 If one mistakenly installed a 1K resistor instead of an 100K for R4, what are the odds that would result in damage to Q1?

Yeah, laser cut acrylic would probably look clearer than 3D printed as long as you just want simple flat geometry.
