The Best Upgrades For Epiphone Les Paul Jr Guitars

[@friedrich1957]

Will klusons fit without reaming tuner holes?

[@KluteKMP]

Awesome work! Guitar sounds and plays great. Synergy upgrades really made a difference hitting all the various points. Since added a solid black pick guard and pickup mounting ring that really sets off its good looks.🙂

Thank you!!

If you take the TRC off first, the nut comes off a lot easier with no risk when it’s an older, dried out, cover.

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing this helpful video. I just started teaching myself through KZbin videos how to setup and perform basic upgrades to my guitar. I have a question... Which TUSQ nut did you buy for the Epi b/c it look like a drop in replacement. Unless you filed it down off camera. Thanks.

I think I did do some filing/sanding off camera. I don't know if I've actually ever bought one that fits perfectly, but i remember this one didn't need much. Most companies make them just slightly bigger than needed it seems. I couldn't find the exact one he ended up buying but always measure and make sure the string spacing is correct too.

I'm almost done redoing this same guitar. Looks nothing like it did. Refinished in nitrocellulose, faber bridge, reshaped headstock, vintage style gotoh tuners, all high end parts, modeled after a 54' gibson jr. Completely redone

[@erikguitardesigner]

That sounds like an awesome mod!!! I'd love to see pics!

Sound demo?

[@mason5086]

Can you make a video on just installing a new pickup for this guitar in regular speed

[@erikguitardesigner]

Hey! Unfortunately I don't have the original video anymore... You can change the playback speed to be slower though.

What company did you buy the bridge from?

[@erikguitardesigner]

I think it was this one from stew mac: www.stewmac.com/parts-and-hardware/all-hardware-and-parts-by-instrument/electric-guitar-parts/electric-guitar-bridges-and-tailpieces/non-trem-electric-guitar-bridges/adjustable-wraparound-bridge/

[@wbrown0911]
