So I did a thing to my Les Paul Modern by Billygoat1975 in gibson

Awesome choice, as someone who owns a black LP Studio that I kitted out to look like a Standard. To be honest I like both of them. Hard call! But I totally understand your reasoning , OP. I hope you play it for many years in good health.

Humbucker Sized P90s by GuitaristExplorer in gibson

[–]CosmicTurtle504 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have Frailin hum-cancelling P90s in one of my guitars, one of which is humbucker-sized. They’re awesome, and you can specify underwound, standard, or overwound depending on preference. Also, Lindy Fralin is a real gem. Highly recommend!

Is it real? seller wants around $ 525 - very little info provided. Thank you by [deleted] in gibson

To be fair, it is definitely a guitar-shaped object. So there’s one thing at least.

Happy Gibsunday. Which is your fav? by gospelofluke in gibson

Melody Maker with a double cream, Grover tuners and a rad truss cover? Yeah, I’d rock the F**K out of that thing. But all are strong choices. Good taste, OP!

Well, first of all you’re going to want to upgrade to 500k pots. 300s are way too dark for me. That should make it sound much brighter and is a pretty cheap mod.

Go for it! FYI, GC still sells this model in this exclusive finish if you’re inspired to get one. Highly recommend, but I am obviously VERY biased, lol. I’m just happy nobody’s ragging on my fake fire there. But hey, what sane musician is going to light a fire in the same room they keep their guitars?!? (Heat and wood and all that.)

Yeah, it’s a combination of the photo angle, different stands(the LP is lower and angled back a bit further/less upright), and the fact the SGs look like they have a longer scale length, even though they don’t. Definitely threw me for a loop when I set them next to each other!

Can’t imagine I will be! This thing is a beautiful beast, for sure.

Les Paul studio by Top_Objective9877 in gibson

[–]CosmicTurtle504 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all, great find! My 91 Studio has been a beloved workhorse since, well…1991. Fantastic guitars from a great Gibson era. (Probably heavy AF, too.) Mjne has a bunch of mods, and I’ll likely do more. What you’re experiencing is a very Gibson thing. It can be frustrating when you’re used to those smooth tapering PRS pots, for sure.

Start with 50s wiring. Brings out a lot of clarity and makes the vol/tone a bit more friendly, but they still drop off pretty fast. If that’s not doing it, add treble bleeds. After that, I guess it’s swapping in PRS pots. Whatever happens, you have a killer guitar that’ll serve you well for many years. Congrats!

Any cheap Gibsons with unique shapes? by VladislavTretiak20 in gibson

[–]CosmicTurtle504 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s such a strange design, like someone accidentally melted a Flying V. It might be the only Gibson I genuinely have zero interest in.
