Dimarzio 59 paf have arrived neck and bridge

The CT’s pots the Sprague caps the wiring is all ready time go to work. And make this epiphone elitist Les Paul be heard. Once again I mentioned Steve Austin the six million dollar man in comparison to this guitar , and our two sons are like what are you talking about dad rebuilding some dude.

Ok kids just go find my reading glasses help dad out.

Even their PAFs sound too compressed to my ears.
Regardless, way better than the stock Epi p'ups.

He wanted the dimarzio 59 in it and awesome guitar I done fret job on it I was mentioning hey I got some Seymour pearlys and several sets of handwound humbuckers a friend makes them from alnico 2 to 5 magnets.

I believe they were in my Les Paul Special that I sold awhile back. Either that or they were in my Michael Kelly that I sold.
My main axe (my home built Les Paul) has Duncan Antiquities. I love the sound of a low-output humbucker into a cranked amp.

Going to upgrade the Epi Les Paul one day and throw a Creamback or Classic Lead into my Backstair. Plus new pots, stock episode pots suck.
