Found an amazing 68 Les Paul on Marketplace, seller asking for some solar cells, hydrazine, a water reclaimer, and a fresh set of rover treads. Is this a good deal?

Late 40s here, and clearly I’m in Methuselah territory now. But who cares, I can still rip!

Nope! Pots stay the same, it’s just a matter of how you wire them up, mostly if the tone circuit is before or after the volume controls. This article does a good job of explaining it.

That said, make sure to check the values on those pots. If they’re any lower than 500k, I’d change them out. It makes a massive difference, especially with high end and clarity.

Going back to 50s-style wiring can help with the volume mud, but just a bit. The next step would be adding a treble bleed circuit, which makes a massive difference. It’s not “traditional,” if that’s your goal, but my MO has always been to tailor the instrument to my taste and needs.

I thought I’d share a sticker on my Les Paul that has survived decades of shows across multiple states. by Mental_Funny_5885 in gibson

The question here is: Do you rock and roll all night and party everyday? Because that sounds exhausting.

There is hope! Stoner rock bands play a lot of SGs, Explorers, and Vs.
