matiac Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Ok, here's what I got: 2004 Epiphone Les Paul Classic Quilt-top in trans blue Pickups: 1974 Gibson T-top open coil pickups Bridge: Gotoh Tailpiece Gibson TP6 milled to fit Epiphone posts Allparts jack, and toggle switch Allparts pearloid 3 ply pickguard (recently removed, if anyone wants it) Techy re-dressed the frets, even though it didn't really need it, just made them better. I took what was basically a fantastic guitar, and made it even better, it didn't really need modifications, I just did most of it because I could.

V-Type Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Mines a 2003 MIK LP Custom. 2 pickup Black Beauty. Nothing really needed changing as it was pretty Killer stock. I did change the pickups too Duncan Custom Custom/APII and it sounds like a very high $$$ player at a fraction of the cost. The stock Grovers on Mine are solid no matter how much hand vibrato or bending I do. I plan on buying more Epi's Very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replaced the switch, antiqued the finish. Removed the highgloss. Stained the plastic with my secret coffee-recipy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 pics' date='mods,colors whatever[/quote'] They're made out of wood, they've got strings and wires and stuff. Lots of metal things attached to them and some plastic too and some day I'm going to paint one orange like a traffic cone. ...and Al's your uncle...and my Les Paul is your Epi's daddy.

Muskank Sally Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Stock Epiphone LP Plus Top, OK I added Speed knobs. Every guitar I've got has had mods. This one to my amazement needs Nothing. a TP-6 Tailpiece is usually a must-have for me due to the fact that I hate micro-tuning to death using machine heads. This LP needs nothing in that area because it simply stay tuned the way a great guitar should. As for the pickups, well even though they smoke, I am getting a Dimarzio DP-100 for the bridge. More than likely I will de-cap the PAF pro and throw it in the neck. It's definitely going up front, but the de-cap may wait until I've tried it out covered. That bridge PAF Pro (clone) may be just what the DP-100 needs next to it. My SG Custom with: Sperzel Locking Tuners/SH-6 Distortion Pickups Mid-Bridge/Gotoh Bridge/TP-6/Switchcraft toggle & Jack/ Alpha 500k Push-Pulls for SH-6's /Original Bridge '57 + pickup moved to the neck position, reversed. Gretsch Electromatic Pro Jet (2005): Lace Alumitone P-90's/TP-6 tailpiece replaced a Bigsby B-50 (due to breakage.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daneman Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 On the topic of coffee staining,this 79 fender ash body is coffee stained and shot clear,did it back in the early 90s. And my poor old 92 Les paul Std looked like this when I got her, And currently looks like this: Pretty much the only thing stock is the wood.

Biff Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 My LP Custom "Chrome Ltd Ed" from Saein Korea (on the right) has a GFS Mean P90 in the neck, GFS Crunchy PAF in the bridge (replaced that Dream 180 in the picture). Had originally all chrome hardware, chrome mirror pickguard and chrome pup rings and chrome knobs (found a new home in the Dot, on the left). Went for the Gibson '57 Custom look; black top hat knobs and a black pickguard with white binding from GFS, orange Gibson 3-way selector, black pup rings, knob pointers etc. Replaced the switch' date=' antiqued the finish. Removed the highgloss. Stained the plastic with my secret coffee-recipy.[/quote'] Hey Ricochet, I have enough coffee recipes but that antique finishing and highgloss removal sounds interesting. Care to shed some light on that mystery process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyelcrrt1281733995 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 This is Lil' Christian, an Epi Les Paul, Junior of unknown origin and date (no serial number sticker), modified from stock by Seven Works Guitar with vintage Keystone tuners, Charley Christian pickup by Vintage Vibe Guitars and a trapeze tailpiece. I further modified it by removing the trapeze (insufficient downpressure to keep the bridge in place) and replacing it with a GFS Badass (which sits high enough that I mounted it under the slots in the posts, using 1 superthin washer - from an old tone pot - directly on the thimbles. No more tilt, and 2-3/32" action. I also installed an Earvana nut. This is the MOST fun guitar I've ever owne Purchased: Today: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrma Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Mines completely stock atm, except the bridge pickup cover removed. However, I have some tuners, Tonerider PU's and some wiring coming soon. Oh, and Ricochet how exactly do you do the peter green mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricochet Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Hey Ricochet' date=' I have enough coffee recipes but that antique finishing and highgloss removal sounds interesting. Care to shed some light on that mystery process? [/quote'] Ha...I probably made that sound more interesting then it really is. I hated that glossy new look. So I took the coarse green side of a yellow/green kitchen-sponge. I used green soap to soften the process. Since I was really just scratching the guitar enough to remove the gloss. Replaced the cream backplates with black ones. The plastic input-plate with a brass one. The 3way-toggle with a quality switch and black knob. And removed the silly Rhythm/Treble plate. What? You can't play solos with the neck-PU? Put the Seymour Duncans in, with the Peter Green mod(reversing the neck PU's magnet). Rotated the PU itself but that's just for show since it has no effect on the sound. Replaced the chrome covers with old nickel ones. And finally, aged the PU-rings by sanding and soaking them in the secret coffee recipe. Hope that helped or amused you either way.:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
