What I had read was they were going to recreate the famous double neck SG for starters. Then they were going to do some of the rest of his guitars. But they did not say which or if it would be all of his guitars. Sounded like it depended on sales of the initial two models they were recreating.

Years ago I had the same wiring mod in one of my Les Paul guitars, by far I found the individual pickup being switched to "Parallel" to be very useful. Switching a pair of pickups into "Parallel" was also nice as it gave an open/airy type of characteristic (albite also thinner sounding).
@clarkbabin979910 ай бұрын
@@hkguitar1984 a lot of people think when you have higher ohms or resistance the hotter the pickup. It works the same basic principles as anything else that creates resistance. In parallel it is in effect doing the same as when you have both neck and bridge activated. It will drop the ohmage down since your putting them in parallel. In series it's the sum total of both when online. It will produce the what the two values are together. A simple math equation.

@vadenk443310 ай бұрын
Lol, yeah it’s definitely true. I love me some Jimmy Page playing his Burst, especially live. But the early Zeppelin I & II stuff played on his 1959 Telecaster are his best tones imo. I was actually listening to “Heartbreaker” today- and it sounded more like a telecaster to me than a burst. I’m not sure what the lore is on that- whether it was actually his tele or his burst. But until today I would’ve bet money it was the burst without a question. But today, the closer I listened the more I couldn’t tell which it was. And I actually started leaning more towards it being the telecaster. What sucks is that Jimmy Page on a Telecaster doesn’t sound like anyone else on a telecaster. He sounds rocking- with none of that overly twangy treble sound you associate with the “Nashville” telecaster sound. I wonder if the top loader bridge makes that much of a difference in tone? I know hard core Telecaster aficionados don’t like the top loader bridge telecaster’s at all. But If all Telecaster’s sounded like Jimmy’s- I’d own and play a telecaster :). I’ve owned some nice tele’s over the years, but always would end up selling them eventually. My favorite tele was a 74 deluxe with the wide range humbuckers- I should’ve kept that one- but traded it around 2001 for a 1970’s Marshall JMP that never worked right. I just never bonded with a telecaster in the same way I’ve bonded with two different Stratocaster’s a (73 maple neck) & a (62 rosewood laminate board) and multiple 60’s-2000 era SG standards & juniors & a few Les Paul- Standards & Juniors

@vadenk4433 It is said that he recorded with his Tele and played live with his LP. Had WAY more options on the LP than with a Tele, but preferred to record with it as time management isn't really top of the mind. I could be 100% wrong, but it makes sense. I'm more of a heavy guitar guy. I like Explorers and loved owning em, never kept any. The best guitar I have played was the LTD KH202 (yea, the cheapest one of the ESP KH lot). It's also the only bolt-on neck with a natural oiled satin finish. Smmooooth as butter, that guitar. It had a magical Floyd Rose as well, thing just ALWAYS floated and held tune PERFECT. Alas, I don't own it anymore. Down to 6 players and 3 "project" guitars. Only 9 atm...sad, lol.

Number 2 wiring made simple to understand: Pickguard switch 1: master series/parallel; works best in middle position, turns the middle position into a giant super bucker by combining them together as one Pickguard switch 2: Out of Phase Neck/Bridge Volumes: Individual series/parallel. Sounds like a very weak humbucker, produces single coil like tones, no hum. Both coils are on, but instead of wired together they're wired separately Neck/bridge tones: individual coil splits, only one coil is on, produces single coil tones, has hum, sounds like half a humbucker

@ScottfromBaltimore9 ай бұрын
I just wired a switch in a guitar to put the coils in a humbucker in parallel rather than in series. It's a thinner sound with slightly fewer highs than a coil split, but with less hum. I think that's what the push-pull parallel/series switches do here. And the push-push parallel/series switch maybe puts that pickups themselves in series which would make it louder and duller in the middle position, I guess. So if you were to go from both pickups in series, to one pickup, to one pickup in parallel, to that one pickup split, the signal would get weaker and brighter as you went. I guess.

The bar or bridge in the control panel is basically what many electrical panels and phone manels has in them deacdea ago. These days the bar or connecting bridge in many panels are a combination of spring or screw head terminals where as most phone panels are a push down type of terminal. The electrical ones work similarly to the quick stab connections on electrical outlets. Difference being here is the bridge isnt directly connected to the main circuit. These help when your needing multiple wiring options as this guitar has .

So, if I'm not mistaken in my JP's LP knowledge, the gouged out version will be Jimmy's #1, and it's due to mostly him doing the work himself. So, when it went around for him to doing the mods on #2 and ask for help with Steve Hoyland it was done professionally. But, after he got all the cool settings, apparently he mostly stuck to using the phase switcher, and nothing else too much, since even for him it was gimmicky. Also, that little black blotch that's next to the selector switch seems to be how Jimmy's #2 aged. I've seen several other photos of #2, because at some point I want to re-spray mine to have that similar colour, and I noticed that all the #2 has that. It must be more because of the neck thinning/carving process he did, and the re-spray to follow; therefore a different paint was probably used hence the weird aging.

What Jimmy or Gibson should have done was some kind of active electronics so that series-parallel, phase inversion, and coil-splits and all the permutations were at the same volume as full-on humbucking. I once had a Les Paul with DiMarzio Dual Sounds that would coil-split and phase-invert. The altered tones were cool but not very useable on stage because of the low volume levels. I play strictly country, but prefer playing a Les Paul live. It'd be real handy if some of those altered Strattish-Telly-ish tones were a little more accessible.

This review is painful to watch…I dreamt of getting one of these custom shop Jimmy Page Les Pauls in early 2000s. I was 16 and could never afford it then. As an adult I planned to get one but these older signatures are not only rare but cost more than they did new. I was excited to hear Gibson was making new custom shop Jimmy Page signatures but saw the $50K price tag on these and this will drive prices up even more on the older versions. At this point it’s clear I will never own a custom shop Jimmy Page model. I’m sure there will be some overpriced mass produced Epiphone and Gibson USA versions which will be less accurate and inferior in specs but I’m not gonna waste my money.

Maybe find yourself a good lp standard and have a tech mod it up to Page specs, would that be an option for you? Don’t give up. I never liked the idea of buying someone’s signature guitar anyway, mod it up and make it yours

@@randall9000 Thanks, that’s actually a great idea and what I’ll prob do if I don’t like the Gibson USA and Epiphone Page signatures. Tricky part is finding a guitar that gets the look of Jimmy’s guitar with the right color burst and level/type of flame.

I got a Cherry burst Traditional in 2018, and though I kinda wish it was AAA instead of AA, it’s still my dream guitar. The comparable one today would be the ‘50s standard. Recommend.

Do you guys think it would be "blasphemy" to install this wiring into my 2008 Gibson LP Custom? I know the pickups are different, but I really dig the tone variations here...

Pretty sweet color on that top. Fwiw, as of now (3 days after your vid was uploaded) this JP LP is not showing up on your site. GLWTS.

I think you would see some bigger tone differences with a germanium fuzz in the chain.

Don’t understand this aged craze…I like my stuff pristine and age it myself by using it …just a preference 😻

If you want the used look, just buy a used guitar!
