    1952 Gibson LP Gold Top - To Restore or To Convert?

    If future value is a major concern for you, I’d have it set up in the most popular configuration, which is (IMHO) humbuckers, ABR-1 and stop bar TP. Will this get you the most money, I’d say probably. Will this setup sell the quickest, I’d also say probably because (IMHO) there will be the...

    Ever Put Old Pickups in a New Les Paul?

    I did it to a 2002 R8. The pickups are unmolested, covers never off, PAF’s from a busted ‘61 SG. Previously, I had a pair of Timbuckers In that guitar. Was it a day and night difference? No, more of a different shade of PAF tone. Did anyone in my band notice? No. Did anyone in...

    1969 Fender dripedge Princeton

    The tube chart isn't always accurate, Fender just used up whatever they had sitting around. BUT, I agree that Drip Edge Princetons and Deluxes are still Blackface on the inside.

    Show us your Lemon burst!!

    Bought my first Historic from Vintage World back in 2002. It was located within a mile from my house. Walked in there, he had about a dozen Historics hanging on the walls. I settled on a 2002 R8 Washed Cherry. Still have her, she now sports real PAF's from 1961. The pickups cost more...
