My guitar previously had a mono output jack and I cant figure out how to wire my new stereo output jack to my guitar. I do not think this is the right catorgory but oh well
Answer
Yep, the best and easiest method would be to have an in-line splitter of the standard guitar cable. And then having two lines to be dedicated to left and right channels for those inputs to any amp or receiver that provides for the audio.
The concept of stereo guitars stems from the stereo attention when recording/playback for home entertainment for audio came into being. Which included broadcasting of radio and television signals and reproduction of records and reel-to-reel stereo taping. As well as for theatre putting out for the movie industry.
Some makes of guitars then (early 60's+) came out with guitars (and matching amps) for stereo circuits, pairing up the pickups and switching systems to control the outputs. That's why on some vintage units you wil find a bank of 4 (not just trying to separate the tone response) obvious pickups (or double coils) to accommodate the usual 2 more common, fingerboard and bridge components. And, built-in stereo output jacks.
Many thought that multiple pick ups on an electric guitar meant stereo as well, but was just division of the tone dedication accents in the attempts. Multiple switching included, but not anything stereo in circuitry or output. Not to mention, all the control knobs to each pot. Still a monophonic instrument.
So it all became more of a novelty for the average players, and only good for studio applications or far-out (frequency wave traveling) effects at performances. Expensive too. And quality, maintenance or repair issues down the road.
Too much hardware and overkill to come right down to it. As for today's amps doing all the work for any stereo enhancements, and multiple effects, that can blow anyone out of the waters.
