Clive The Farmer Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Hello New to this forum and based in the middle of the UK. I have a 1974 Les Paul Signature semi-hollow, pic below, and I need to get the wiring sorted/replaced. Not sure how many people on here in the UK, but if there is do any of you know where's best place to get it sorted (I'm 40 miles west of Birmingham). It's precious to me (even though I'm not very good) and I don't want it mucked about by someone who says they know what they are doing and they don't.

retrorod Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 It looks to be in nice shape! Can you explain the dark finish on the sides of the cutaways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive The Farmer Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 It looks to be in nice shape! Can you explain the dark finish on the sides of the cutaways? It's not been used much for the past 35 years, just for pleasure at home although I did do a stint with a practice big band for a few years. The neck is a darker wood and it looks like they have stained the cutaway prior to laquering to gradually blend into the neck. Pickups are fine, and seem very powerful to me, it just needs the wiring re-doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Timber Owls Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I've always wondered two things about the les paul signature: 1. How the 3-way 50, 100, and 250-ohm potentiometer is wired and how it works (I assume it's a lot of capacitors? But what are the values?) and 2. How accurately or dramatically this changes the sound of the pickups? Anyone have any info on this or answers? I tried reading that schematic, but my non-engineer brain could not comprehend it.
