Periklis Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Hello I recently purchased a 2005 Gibson Les Paul Studio faded brown. I want to install the P-94R (neck). I'll keep the bridge pickup. Does anybody know if i have to do something with the rest of the electronics or just install & solder the P-94R ? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Periklis Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Keep it original I also think of that but i keep my 1970 les paul custom that way ;) Thanks for reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Periklis Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 You should just have to unsolder the hot and the ground and take the pup out you no longer want to use and reinstall the new one and solder the hot and ground back to where the original wires were. Easy. I think it is a single coil so you will probably get some 60hz hum. I see. Thank you very much for reply ! If i face some 'problem' i might ask your help again if it doesn't bother you ! regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I guess if there's 500k pots in the stock wiring scheme, wouldn't one also want to replace the vol and tone pots with 300k for the P94? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally installed the P-94R (easy to find the correct polarity by checking the middle position sound) but i don't have the full clarity of the P-94R. I have some treble loss i guess. I have the famous tone of the pup but without the full clarity. (my neck burstbucker were more clear sounding). You have any idea on what is going on here ? friendly regards P.

kidblast Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 hard to guess at this.. what about the pots for that pup,, are they still 500k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Periklis Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 hard to guess at this.. what about the pots for that pup,, are they still 500k? yes and there's a capacitor too. Actually the combination is extremely good gives the ability of a more versatile guitar. It covers all the area from jazz-rock to a Peter Greenish thin/rich sweet sound. But still the P-94R misses some highs ! I was wondering if this is about pots or even capacitor (there's one in neck and one on bridge pots) The P-94R is more 'weak' in volume terms by itself so when i lover it i have volume loss as well in combination with the humbucker. So i found a good balance between them except the high frequencies (trebles) or the P-94R. I know this pup has a bit more trebles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Periklis Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Try swapping the black and white lead and see if it sounds better. I did that and i got an out-of-phase sound in the middle position. So i end up finding what sounds best but still i have some high frequencies (treble) loss of the P-94R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 treble loss when the pot volume is set @10, or is it more noticeable when you back off the volume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Periklis Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 treble loss when the pot volume is set @10, or is it more noticeable when you back off the volume? yes treble loss at 10 and even more as going down from 10 to 9 e.t.c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
