paulsmulebarn Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 here's my one and only Les Paul (for now). 2008 studio faded in cherryburst. looks pretty good for a faded model, don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolff Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 HNGD! The sunburst on that is very striking. I normally don't like black pickguards on bursts, but that looks pretty sharp I must admit. That's what they call 'faded'? Looks glossy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolff Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 The only hard part is messing with the springs that hold the pickup to its ring. Be sure to put a towel or something over your guitar so it doesn't get scratched if you drop something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they're out of stock. Try sending Thomann an email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolff Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 OK, to get the toggle switch ring off you have to unscrew the round fitting holding it down. I usually open up the back plate too so I have the toggle lined up perfectly when I tighten up the fitting again. Neck and bridge pup rings are certainly different. I wouldn't get anything except for Gibson Original parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
