Great video as always, I had no idea that modern wiring sounded so muddy, even with the tone knobs full up. My #1 Les Paul Standard has 50's wiring with matched pots, ground wire on pot casings and matched foil and paper in oil .022 capacitors. I love the large pallette of available tones using 50's wiring and P.A.F. Type pickups. Rock On, Brother!
My first Les Paul was a Japanese Burny from 1985, it had the 50's wiring. When I finally played a Gibson Les Paul many years later, I was shocked at how poorly it compared to the Burny. When I opened it up to look inside the control cavity, I couldn't believe that the pots were wired differently and mounted on what appeared to be an aluminum plate. Since then, I have always removed that mounting plate on Gibson guitars and mounted the pots direct to the body with the 50's wiring. Huge improvement.
well... great comparison and explanation! really nice tones with 50s low pots settings! but what are you going to do with that white "something" les paul?
I really like the VIpots. I hated spending the money but I'm happy I've got them. I also tell people about 50s wiring and proper paf clones. I've got a set of 59s with a4 magnets from brandonwound ( the guy who now heads up Gibson's pickup dept) Easy little changes like this can make a Gibson USA model 10 times better. You can really get that tele on steroids, sound, and crystal clear tones from your neck pickup. People don't have to put up with thick mud only, in the neck position
Приветствую.) Рад, что наткнулся на этот канал (изначально на русский). Да, после того "прощального" видео ещё раз сделал для себя вывод, почему не хочу туда возвращаться: адекватных слишком мало, а безкультурщины, в силу менталитета, подавляюще много. Да и в уши фильтр не поставишь и не закроешь их, как глаза. Буду рад следить за новыми видео. Успехов в этом кропотливом деле!)
Верно... удар по чсв не каждый переживет, а русский менталитет может влупить по этой части личности очень и очень - прецеденты уже есть в русскоязычном гитарном ютубе. Хорошо это или плохо... время покажет. Оно уже показывает, но не всем хватает смелости и разума принять горькую правду и перестать смотреть на мир через розовые очки.
Hello ! im kinda new to the channel, is there any way to buy one of your art guitars someday ? or any indication of a possible price range ? Just saw some video of you at guitarguitar, wonderful instruments !
The string break at the nut looks similar to my standard. I’m happy with the straight string pull but almost all of the les Paul guys I watch have a weird break for the low and highE almost always it is pointing inward. Makes me feel like I have the wrong spacing or something
Angus Young does not play 50's wired guitars. Live at Leeds Townsend played p90s with modern wiring. Jimi Hendrix did not play 50's wired guitars. Jimmy Page's double neck and his candy apple red top Norlin Les Paul were not fifties wired. Just keep that in mind.
Yes. Great & to the point explanation to those new to this. Aah.. But what happened to that Great , Non master volume amp the builder let you borrow ? I hope he might give you a fair price on it. (( The SERIOUS MAGIC )) From a "Golden Era " Gibson, Or, Close to perfect clone is a GREAT { Very dynamic } NON Master Volume Amp. & using the volume/tone controls & playing dynamics If you weren't sooo far, I'd give you one.
Unfortunately, stock Epiphone pickups won't do this. Pickups and wiring are a single system and the signal starts from the pickups. If they don't have brightness, then wiring won't help.
The best Paul I have is a PRS McCarty with Lindy Fralins…. But aside from that , why do we as guitarist keep trying to do , to replicate the same things over n over ? With all the tools we have why aren’t we inventing new sounds?
yes. it will absorb a little of the wire microphone effect but the basic sound will remain the same. Write me through the form on the website 8bombcustom.com and we will discuss it

I pretty much rewire all my Les Paul guitars with 50's schematic. It takes a lot of the "mud" out. And using a PAF spec pickup is also beneficial.

Omg I love that guitar. It’s my absolute dream guitar.
I wind my own PAF’s and always use the 50’s wiring scheme. I always get huge compliments on my tone.
It's the best way! 👍
It's the best way! 👍
Both guitars sounded good on their own… 😊
Interesting. I checked this challenge on my Gibson LP Trad with 57s pickups and you know, it doing well. Guitar is modern era, 2012. Thanx for video)
I even wire my ceramic magnet pickups 50s style. It really made my JB humbucker come alive.
agreed, i have a super distortion in one of my LP's and 50's wiring makes it so much better compared to modern

@@soapboxearth2 Thanks alot! I do believe you! I'm just curious if Dr.Nitro is going to do smth with that white "les paul" guitar from the video.
Thank you. I think we will soon find an option to extract from the potential of this white Custom. It will be interesting.
Hands Down, Seymour Duncan Antiquity`s.
Are that pickups (replica vs modern) has same resonance frequency?
Asking just for fair more scientific compare.
Great stuff. So different from the modern setups.

Id love one of your guitars, they look, and sound stunning.

Hello!
Please make an issue about pickguards. And I would be interested in your opinion, is a pickguard needed or not?
Thank you.
I love pickguards, they are an integral part of the design.
Is it that perhaps modern pickups are hot like 13k+ compared to paf vintage which are a lot warmer.
I think so......👍
Ita mainly the wiring, hot pickups also clean up better with 50s wiring
low winds
Alway great videos from you.
Thank you
Would my 60s inspired Epiphone Dot have more clarity from the stock pickups if I did this?
Unfortunately, stock Epiphone pickups won't do this. Pickups and wiring are a single system and the signal starts from the pickups. If they don't have brightness, then wiring won't help.
@@8BombCustom thanks for the info!

Would yours sound as good if I potted them? I play with a lot of gain.
Also need dual cream aka "dual white"
yes. it will absorb a little of the wire microphone effect but the basic sound will remain the same. Write me through the form on the website 8bombcustom.com and we will discuss it
What pickups did that other LP have. It sounded BAD!
It was Maisom LP and i think it is some Ibanez pickups
