Rabs Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Yes I have a LP 2008 and it also has a circuit board.. But they changed back to the old style for the 2012s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallastx Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 I was kinda shocked at first, but didn't notice that much of a tonal difference between older Gibsons and this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think theres anything wrong with it. I dont think its like at high risk of going wrong and if it does I dont think it would be too difficult to change back to the usual style. You may need new pots and stuff but shouldnt be too hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammnizzle Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Yea, that's the only real pisser about it...modding. Wanna just swap pups? Tough nookies. Either splice into the special connector or drop some more coin on a whole new set of pots and caps and a new jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I'd imagine you could just simply remove it and sell it on ebay, then use the money you just made to buy a kit from RS Guitarworks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
