abbeyrod Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Here they are, my two Gibbies. first my LP traditional from 2009. I changed the buttons, the TRC, the Pots (for CTS 500k) and Caps (VtaminQ), wiring !50's) and took off the scratch plate and added pointers.. Now it's ok This LP has a soul of its own, it really sings , I love it. Before changing the buttons for reflectors Uploaded with ImageShack.us after, with pointers Uploaded with ImageShack.us Here is my other 2009 gibby A 2009 faded worn cherry V on which I changed the buttons, wiring (50's), and Pick Ups ( I set Reed James Robowound pafs in it, but i'm not sure I'm gonna keep them in as they are really vintage low gain PU's. I may try Seymour duncans in there) and finally added pointers Uploaded with ImageShack.us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Those are nice. That LP is sweet. The fretboard on the LP almost looks like ebony. Do you use fret doctor or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abbeyrod Posted June 27, 2010 Author Share Posted June 27, 2010 Thank you all for the feedback. regarding the fretboard, I use Citrus Oil (dunlop or gibson, it depends..) It works well. it really loook dark on the picture as I guess I must have just oiled it, it is not as dark now that i changed the strings more than a month before. Yes the LP as a really nice looking color & top. At first i wanted a light or honey burst but couldn't find one at a decent price here in france. But now I really dig it. Desert burst are better looking without the scratch plate. I like scratch plates on HCS or other reddish burst, but on Desert burst I think the scratch plate give it a 50's look although without it has a strong rock 'n' roll soul. On top of that this LP sounds really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
