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...

variations in the capacitor size hapens through time, its just the evolution of how things are made most of the time comapanys will find a way to make somtheing that will work the same or close enough to it and save materials or labor or just make a more efficient product, the caps in that LP pro probably sound the same as any ceramic caps with the same value but they may be a higher voltage. What i have found with experimenting is that the higher the voltage is the tone seems to get slightly deeper and warmer, thats just through my experimentation.
