SRV-Zeppelin Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 First off, get a truss rod that says "Les Paul" on it... after that, I would recommend changing the pups for Burstbucker 1 and 2 pickups, they're closer to the original PAF pickups than the 57s that come stock in the 61. As for pots- I don't have a clue. Hope this helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TattooedCarrot Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 You know the neck joint and headstock are different? I don't think you can mod that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TattooedCarrot Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 CTS 500k pots and some decent caps; Orange Drops, Mallory, Hoveland, RS, WCR, Etc. The older historic SG's had the 57 Classics, same as your 61RI. The newer ones have Burstbuckers. Personally I think the 57's work better in SG's so you're already there.
