Gibson: Les Paul 50s Tribute (humbucker) Part 4

Here's the revised wiring courtesy of Master BEEZ, of course. The circuit board had been removed so you can see the wooden base there, Gotoh pots in use & a pair of Orange Drop caps.

The tone pots are also push-pull coil split switches for some single coil moments when I'm bored...

rewiring a lespaul was much harder than other guitars because of the limited cavity space for maneuvering the soldering iron...

but i guess if u're at master level such as beez, things would be much easier :)

Beez pre-soldered some stuff before they went into the cavity eg: Orange caps. He will only do in-cavity soldering for the rest :-)

yup, most probably he will pre-soldered the push/pull pots too...

that's the second time someone asked me this... :-o it's nothing new, did it with all my tune-o-matic type bridges + hardtail he he... because those guitars were not played as much & they were seldom featured here, i guess nobody noticed... other wrap-over instances:

prs style similar? :D

not quite- PRS has no tune-o-matic component. at least not the older ones :-)
