Rabs Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 So you may have seen my last thread about my LP DC... So I decided it would be interesting to have a look inside all of them.. For anyone interested :) (im doing this as im about to delve into my own builds electronics).. So youve seen this.. the LP DC Special Faded 2005 Then theres the 2002 1960 Classic Then the 2008 Standard (from 2011) And last but not least.. My 60s Tribute Studio also from 2011 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danner Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 That is pretty cool. Thanks for posting. It looks like Gibson is gradually improving things, and I like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Interesting things going on in some of those, Rabs! FWIW as a bit of a comparison, here are a couple of mine; 1993 '59 R-I. 1995 '60 R-I. I had thought these were wired identically but, on closer inspection, they are quite different! Very Curious Indeed...... I'll have to check something out later on...... I don't have any of the innards of my 1960 Classics but I seem to remember them being slightly different from yours. My pair are from '91 and '95 so that might explain things a bit. I'm expecting to be wrapped up in stuff for the next 3 or 4 days but if I get time I'll have a gander to check. P. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah thats why I thought it would be an ineresting topic for those who are into the wiring side of things I will come to do my own one soon.. EDIT: By the way the only one that wasnt stock was the DC Special.. All of the rest were bought as new so thats how they came from the factory.

pippy Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Yeah thats why I thought it would be an ineresting topic for those who are into the wiring side of things One thing which was a bit of a shock was to see how well-finished / neatly shaped were the control cavities of all of yours are and how......errmm.....'Vintage Authentic"....(shoddy) were the re-issues!

Bender 4 Life Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 mine from 8/88 with the p'ups disconnected for last weeks swapout. for a kick i'll add a pic of the cavity inside my Agile Prestige next time I play it (maybe later tonight)......it looks eerily familiar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbluesplayer Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Here's my 2012 Standard with NOS HYREL PIO (more letters are better :lol: ) caps. 0.022 on the bridge, 0.015 on the neck. I'm going to rewire it with all new electronics at some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
