I have been researching the 50's style wiring and found this forum to be a plethora of information and useful player comments regarding that topic. Looking at all the wiring diagrams posted, many by you, I feel I can now build an accurate 50's style harness and stay correct to the traditional ways of wiring.
To be quite honest I was only familiar with the modern LP wiring (forgive me I am but a mere Tele player..lol) and now will be making the 50's style wiring available for anyone that may require a good LP harness. Oddly enough Gibson seemed to use this wiring in the 60's and 70's as well.
I just recently opened up the control cavity of a 1978-79? Les Paul Pro with P-90's and it had the 50's style wiring, metal plate and ground post etc.
Sorry to get a bit off track from the capacitor thread...here this links it...The LP Pro had dime sized Ceramic disc caps, larger than what Gibson is using today.

What can you tell me about that wiring Paul?

Thanks for sharing...
