    Very nice clean up job, well done.
    I would suggest in terms of set-up that the tailpiece is screwed down too low. It doesn't need to be screwed all the way as you have it, the reason being is the strings, as they bend down over the saddle, can touch the back edge of the bridge. This can cause resonances and buzzes while playing, and even be a point where they break. The tailpiece just needs to be lower than the saddle to get a nice break angle, so raise it up a few turns on each side so you can get a feeler gauge under all the strings on that back edge.

    • @leokrissandy5579
      @leokrissandy5579 6 месяцев назад

      not necessarily true, majority of Gibson guitars actually ship with the screws toward the pickups but some people put it facing the tail piece to prevent scratching up the pu cover when adjusting

    • @TaralgaBushAdventure
      @TaralgaBushAdventure 6 месяцев назад

      I don't there is a hard and fast rule about which way the screws should face on the bridge. Sometimes the guitar scale measurements require it to be one way more than the other to intonate better. Sometimes it's just how the owner likes it.

    • @paulc14
      @paulc14 6 месяцев назад +2

      @TaralgaBushAdventure My comment was mainly directed at this particular guitar clean-up. If one looks closely at the before picture, you can clearly see that the set screws are facing away from the pickups. However, when the piece was reinstalled, the set screws were facing the pickup. In other words, opposite the way it was originally. When the guitar was new, someone probably did a setup on it. With the piece the opposite way, the setup is probably out of whack. Turning the piece around to the original orientation would probably improve the setup, and the guitar would probably sound better. Just my thoughts. I love the color of the wood. I would love to do something similar with some old beat-up strat!

    Beautiful restoration and magnificent seventies Japanese Les Paul copy. All original! Those pickups are fakebuckers, single coils in a humbucker housing ( check the output reading, they are about 300k only). If you want a warmer Gibson style sounds, put in a couple of PAFs.

    • @tiomkinnyborg2289
      @tiomkinnyborg2289 6 месяцев назад +1

      I thought I had heard it all.'fakebuckers'. Why would you copy a guitar then put fake single coils in it? I have a Fresher from the 1970s and I assure you that they are real humbuckers. Two pink coils under the cover that sound better than any Gibson. They wanted people to buy these guitars, why would they rip you off with single coils?
