Epiphone Les Paul Deluxe - Peter Green Mod

I did a slight mod to my 1998 Epiphone Les Paul Deluxe black. I have all four colors that Epiphone made the Les Paul Deluxe in:

 

Blue, Red, Black, & Gold. The story on them is here:

I decided to do the Peter Green mod "Greeny" to my black Epiphone Les Paul Deluxe. The neck pickup has the bar magnet 'rotated' 180 degrees to put it out of phase with the bridge pickup magnet.

 

Nice You Tube video on what is involved:

 

 

 

I wasn't sure just what type magnet the Epi LPD has in the original Epi pickups and to makes sure I didn't mess things up I had my tech flip the magnet. While he was working on it he added a bone nut.

When my tech was done he turned the pickup around like the neck pickup is in the Peter Green Les Paul:

Gary Moore changed two of the knobs to top hat type so I did the same:

This mod sounds great when done on the Epi mini-bucker. Makes it sound sweet!.
