Kolera Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 As I mentioned in the Faded Club a couple of days ago, I've just had the pickups changed on my LP Standard Faded. I asked my guitartech to get some pics of the pickup and controlcavities. I havn't had a chance to look inside a LP and I'm not going to take one apart myself, so I was kinda curious. If anyone else is curious to see the insides without taking your own LP apart, here you go: And rotated: HB = Honey Burst LPSF = Les Paul Standard Faded Correct? And the control cavity: I'm a little suprised that the top appears to be very thick. I actually thought the tops were relatively thin? Feel free to comment. Edit: It's an '08 by the way if anyone should wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba_leon Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 call me crazy but the bridge pickup looks like it's soldered on backwards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolera Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 I wouldn't be able to tell in a million years. I don't even know if the pups in the picture are the original ones or if they are the new ones... Anybody know anything about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakehaus Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Looks like the new pups are resting on top of the body, while the original 4 conductor pups are still soldered in place. The braided lead of the new Gibson pup just happens to be resting on top of the bridge V pot. Not soldered, and totally random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
