I admire you for saying that you had wanted to do this project for years, but recognised it would be difficult, and that you wanted to learn and improve your techniques first. I have felt the same way about some of the things I have done myself. It's the mark of dedication to be willing to learn, be prepared to fail a few times along the way, until you truly master your art.

[@8BombCustom]

@@MichaelSorensen-bl3ec Thank you. Indeed, to start any complex project you need to overcome fear and be prepared for failure. In any case, you can always repaint ☺️

Singularly sensational. I salute your skill! Your craftsmanship! Meticulous attention to detail. Looks stunning matched with sonically sounding perfection. I have a Gibson Custom Shop Paul Kossoff 1959 Les Paul Standard Green Lemon Burst Tom Murphy Aged and it was great to see potential how my guitar looks the way it looks. Just one observation, the vintage pointers under the speed control knobs are missing. Thanks for sharing.

[@serg8910]

Здравствуйте, смотрел на вашем канале про распайку, не совсем понял: скажите пожалуйста, если я ручкой тона не пользуюсь, обязательно ли распаивать как в винтажном Les Paul или можно оставить, как с завода, и какие номиналы конденсаторов порекомендуете в хамбакеры, есть К42У-2, К40У-9, есть МБП и Mallory 150M series, заранее благодарю за ваш ответ. P.S.: электрогитара, копия Les Paul, из махагона, без кленового топа, хамбакеры на Alnico IV.

[@8BombCustom]

@@serg8910 Здравствуйте. Распайка волюма не влияет на ручки тона по этому лучше сделать по правилам. Тем более если это заводская копия леспола, то фабричную электронику можно сразу в утиль так как там и провода, и схема мусорные изначально. Если вы не пользуетесь ручкой тона, то выбор конденсаторов звучит странно, так как именно они работают как фильтр при регулировании ручек тона. Их лучше подобрать по звуку на свой вкус. Традиционно в лесполах использовали конденсаторы 0.022 микрофарада и 400 вольт. Вольтаж не важен здесь. Просто 400 вольт хорошо помещалить по размеру. Иногда использовали 0.033 или 0.015 микрофарад. Все это на вкус и для разных задачь. Используйте большие потенциометры audio taper (логарифм) 500-550к. CTS, VIPots, Centralab, Bourns... Или Domarzio, Saymour...Можно даже Альфа. Hosco не рекомендую.

[@serg8910]

@8BombCustom Спасибо огромное за ответ. Все же более какой: 0.015, 0.022, 0.033 мкФ, для более джазового, блюзового тона, слушал ваши PAF 59, просто бесподобно (отличная ваша работа), приближенное к такому звучанию, тёплому с более выраженной серединой. Может вы сталкивались - есть конденсаторы, есть такие конденсаторы фирмы Mojotone просто масляные, что скажите ?

[@8BombCustom]

@serg8910 начните с 0.022. ну и придется пользоваться ручкой тона.

[@serg8910]

@@8BombCustom Спасибо огромное за совет, буду пробовать, все благ вам.

[@8BombCustom]

@serg8910 Срасибо. Mojotone кондеры не пробовал так как обычно ставлю в гитары винтажные Kohn E Fast начала пятидесятых. Это плёночные. Бумага/масло дают большую погрешность. Мои оригинальные бамблби и блэк бьюти звонятс на 0.028-0.029. По этому я использую пленку 0.029 которая всегда стабильна и звучит отлично. Но конденсаторы подбираются с датчикам. Они фильтруют и выделяют ту частоту которая активна в самом датчике и дереве гитары. Это эквалайзер. Даже оригинальный бамблби будет менять тон у оригинального ПАФ и модернового датчика по разному. По этому я рекомендую слушать и подбирать, не обращая внимания на отштампованные цифры. Так же как и спикер с кабинетом кардинально меняет звучание усилителя с гитарой...

What's the story behind the strange marking on the back of the neck that sort of looks like a scarf joint? I was thinking maybe it was a repair, but at the angle that it presents at, it seems like too much of an end grain to end grain joint to have any strength without any long grain splices in there. Great work as always, my friend!

[@8BombCustom]

@@flapjack413 Thank you. It was a tepair after broken headstock. New headstock with part of the neck was made of more dark mahogany. No serial number stamp, no Les Paul model print. Red colored lacquer. I try to ask more information about the neck Fried Okra. He is a owner of original Kossoff guitar.

@@pie-pv3jw Hi. Yes, it is possible. But keep in mind that aniline solvents are very active and migrate over time into plastic. That is why there are some nuances here.

If Gibson was smart, they would hire this guy and put him in charge of their custom shop. When they try to recreate famous guitars, they do a good job...but it is obvious that they are just trying to get 'close to the original'. This guy tries to get exact. The thing is...if Gibson did hire him and offer his guitars....they would have to charge an insane amount of money for them. The amount of time that would go into creating one single guitar would make them very, very expensive guitars.
