I've always wondered that about LPs thanks man... and yes, i have it wired up and have played her a bit... i think the tone is a bit on the higher pitched side... but rolling off the tone knobs to about 6 puts it right where a mahogany/maple les paul are to me... need to put a little more time in playing her, but life has been really busy this week. anyway, on the ground, there is just a wire run from stop tail anchor to the electronics cavity. ground to the anchor on one end and soldered to the back of one of the pots. all pots on the back soldered together...

You could try 250k pots to darken the tones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GuitarNoobie Posted March 6, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 6, 2010 btw, here's the best i have done practicing so far. the good news is the ink is very forgiving and you can just wipe it off with a little mineral spirits if it's not right.my silk screen has a slight issue with the lower loop on the L as you can see, but i think it's close enough...pennies on the back side for spacing...gibby logo tape off, not using that here...ready to go. clamped down on a good base...some of my first attempts...and the last one i did...i think it's time to take the tuners off of this guitar and go at it...
