  1. Fortunately there are replacements available -- Kluson makes one. Not sure if it's the posts or the bridge, but I can get both. This guitar has been through hell -- neck reset and a refinish by Tim Huenke at Superior Guitar works (Gibson recommended). So I think its value as a pure collectible is a little diminished. But it's a great guitar when it plays in tune! All original hardware. Low impedance pickups, super clean, funky out of phase setting and impedance adjustment . . . so versatile.
  2. Hi, I am the first and only owner of a '75 Les Paul Signature semi-hollow, low impedance etc. Recently I have been chasing down intonation problems, and I noticed that my bridge is tilted -- the bridge side sits lower than the neck side under tension and without tension, and with the strings slack, I can tilt the bridge forward and back. This results in the saddles actually being farther back when the strings are tightened. I am wondering if this is normal . . . or if, after 45 years, the bridge is worn and should be either replaced or the mounting surface resurfaced! Quote Edit

  4. Add the first and only owner of a 1974 LP Signature, I could really use the photos of the wiring that vGrog took and sent to Boogiedude . . . Hands was removed for finish work on the body, and now does nor work properly . . . TIA
  5. thanks. I know it's thin. i don't have the guitar, but the tech is pretty competent. I assume he'd have checked the ground. He says that he gets the loud hum when he touches the pot -- kind of the opposite of the problem you typically have where the hum goes away when you touch the strings. He says the sound is more like touching the end of your cord when it's plugged into your amp.
  6. I'm the first and only owner of an early 70's LP Signature semi-hollow body, low impedance, double cutaway goldtop. The guitar is at RS Guitarworks for refinishing. The tech, very experienced, has reassembled it, but keeps getting a loud hum that he can't get rid of. He has the schematic. He mentioned a brown wire that was soldered to the volume control but not to anything else. I know it's not much to go on, but does anyone have any advice on wiring this vintage Gibson?
