VINTAGE V100- LES PAUL REPLICA ?380.00 O.N.O.
I HAVE SERIOUSLY CUSTOMISED THIS GUITAR ,IT WAS BOUGHT STOCK IN LONDON, ABSOLUTELY EVERY REMOVABLE PART EXCEPT THE FRETS HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH TOP OF THE RANGE PARTS AND ELECTRICS. I HAVE VERY CAREFULLY RUBBED THE GLOSS FINISH DOWN TO A SATIN LIKE SHEEN AS I THOUGHT THE GLOSS WAS CHEAP LOOKING PREVIOUSLY. THIS GUITAR HAS BEEN SET UP BY A VERY GOOD LUTHIER AND HAS HAD A FRET STONING WHICH IS FANTASTIC GIVING IT A GREAT LOW ACTION, THE NUT HOWEVER (TUSQ) I DID MYSELF AND CERTAINLY A BETTER JOB COULD BE DONE! SAYING THAT IT IS NOT BY ANY MEANS A BAD JOB. IF YOU WANT TO COME SEE AND PLAY IT AND YOU ARE NEAR EAST LONDON YOU ARE WELCOME ,CONTACT ME, SO BELOW IS A LIST OF ALL THE PARTS I HAVE PUT IN :
STEEL STRAP BUTTONS - GOTOH
SWITCH - SWITCHCRAFT
INPUT JACK - SWITCHCRAFT
BLACK SQUARE METAL JACK PLATE - GOTOH
MACHINEHEADS/WINDERS - GOTOH CHROME 510 BLURB > These Gotoh tuners are probably the best machineheads on the market today. , The unique Lubri-Plate?, coating on the gears creates less friction and provides an ultra smooth feel with minimal back lash and unrivalled tuning stability. Gotoh's Rock-Solid?, string posts eliminate looseness for perfect tuning stability.
POTS - CTS 500
BRIDGE - GOTOH TUN-O-MATIC STAINLESS STEEL WITH LARGER POSTS
TAILPIECE - GOTOH ALUMINIUM (LIKE ON EARLY 50S/60S LES PAULS)
PICKUPS - NECK - BAREKNUCKLE STORMY MONDAY NON COVERED - BLACK
- BRIDGE - BAREKNUCKLE NAILBOMB NON COVERED -BLACK
INSIDE THE GUITAR I HAVE REWIRED EVERYTHING TO A 1959 WIRING DIAGRAM I GOT FROM - SINGLECOIL.COM WITH CLOTH COVERED WIRE THROUGHOUT AND REPLACED THE POT CAPACITORS WITH TONE CAPS FROM SC.COM ALSO, THEY ARE CALLED BUMBLEBEE WORKALIKES AS THEY ARE BUILT THE SAME WAY AND SOUND THE SAME WAY AS THE EARLY SPRAGUE BUMBLE BEE CAPS PUT IN THE EARLY LP'S BUT LOOK NOTHING LIKE THEM, THESE ADD A REAL MAGIC TO THE TONE!
FOR A CHEAPER LES PAUL REPLICA THIS IS NOW A GUITAR THAT WILL COMPETE VERY WELL WITH SOME PROPER BAD *** GUITARS OUT THERE , WITH SOME SERIOUS KIT UNDER THE HOOD IT PLAYS WELL AND SOUNDS GREAT! FROM SMOOTH WARM JAZZ TONE TO PROPER METAL HELLRAISING ! IT IS A BIG STEP OR THREE UP FROM A STOCK V100 NOW!
THE PARTS ALONE HAVE COST ME AT LEAST ?300.00 SO AT ?380.00 THIS IS A REAL BARGAIN.
