Members FUBTAG Posted May 24, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 24, 2008 Yeah, that's an old pic - i'd just cleaned it up at that point. It has a new switch and a couple year's worth of hard playing on it now. I love it. Between that and my tele, there's not a lot of ground I can't cover. It's my gibson gas killer. Every time i think about buying a les paul, i pick it up and bask in the double-cut goodness...I'm drunk (and fair enough, it's 2:30 in the morning here) but I'm pretty sure that I was talking about the bridge on the original, although "pretty sure" is relative at this point of the night. Did you mean tailpiece, not bridge? I WILL be drunk in a few hours... on my way to a BBQ.... but I mean the stop tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 3 Headed Moses Posted May 24, 2008 Members Share Posted May 24, 2008 I like the way it looks man - mojo to spare! If it were mine, I'd just rewire it and get a new backplate for it, then call it a day... Just my 2 cents. Agreed. It has character the way it is.

Members JoeBoy Posted May 24, 2008 Members Share Posted May 24, 2008 Has a bunch of character to it's age. I would clean it up and play it, however it would look nice either way. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members iMpreno Posted May 25, 2008 Members Share Posted May 25, 2008 Well, my luthier fits every piece of wood he puts his nasty hands on with Seymour Duncan '59s. I think they are a great choice, especially on mahogany, but you have to try them before because they have their very own personality. Just a trivia: the '59 is the prototype Seymour himself designed for Jimmy Page, so the white pick-up we often see on the bridge position of his LPs (ofc, talking about old footage) is the first '59 ever made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
