Wolff Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I finally found the toggle switch tip in amber: woohoo! ;-) I had to steal the one from my sunburst to put on the ebony Standard and now I replaced it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnstrom Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I never thought of changing my toggle switch! To each their own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 What was the original color? Black or creme? The amber tip looks way more vintage and classy! Black kind of looks like an epi hehehe... and well creme... Gibson put creme there for a reason: it looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolff Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 OK, here is the sequence of my switch tip knobs for those interested: LOL -Had an LP Classic that I traded in and kept the amber tip(replaced it with a creme one I had around). -Put that amber tip on my hcsb LP Standard that I traded up to. -Got the Ebony LP Standard which comes with all creme trim. I modded this guitar with the SD pups, black pup rings, speed knobs, toggle switch disc and all black screws. Also removed the pickguard. Then I took the amber tip from the sunburst LP and put it on the ebony, which I think makes it look very nice. -Today I bought a second amber tip to replace on the sunburst LP. ...and of course I am only joking about 'a big score'. I do however like to slightly mod guitars to give them a personal touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveinspain Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Hmmmm.... Actually I was thinking about putting a black tip on my black custom. It came with a white one... So where do you but tips anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolff Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 I got the toggle tip today at my local Guitar Center Store(where I also saw my dream silverburst-sigh). Be sure you get an 'Original Gibson Parts' one. I'm not sure if they are international, but a great source for all kinds of goodies is Musician's Friend. They also have them. $5.00 An alternate way I may set up my ebony LP is as you see it in the photo but with black pickguard and black switch tip. I also have a black pickguard hanger with black hardware for it.
