A few weeks ago, I swapped out the stock pickups in my Les Paul Custom for some Monty's PAF replicas - and I absolutely love them! They made the guitar sound so much more like I was wanting it to.
But that got me thinking: what else was different in Les Pauls back in the day compared to what Gibson make nowadays? Well, pretty much everything!
So in this video, I'm going to swap out the stock potentiometers & capacitors - and rewire the whole guitar to 1950s specs. But how much of a difference will this have?
I'm going to be using CTS 550k Pots custom made for Bare Knuckle Pickups - because they have the closest value & taper to the old Centralabs pots Gibson used in the 50s. For capacitors - getting hold of vintage Sprague/Mylar Bumblebees is a bit dodgy, so I opted for some vintage Russian military 22uF/0.022 Paper-In-Oil capacitors instead.
What do you think? Which wiring is your favourite? And why? Comment below!
Guitar recorded through a Hughes & Kettner Puretone Combo (recorded with an sE Electronics RNR1 Ribbon) and a Cornell Romany Plus (recorded with a 57)
