Les Paul Jr Double cut...Non-warmoth content

[dmraco]

added some bling....Gotoh 510 mini tuners, Gotoh bridge, Fishman power bridge.  The pickguard will cover the neck joint.  I managed to hide it well.  Only one of the three seam lines is visible.  Going to give the GFS pick ups a try.  Dream 180 in the bridge..Mean 90 in the Neck.  The Mean 90 was ony available in the Gold cover.  I picked up a Dream 90 with the pearloid and swapped the cover.  The Dream is now pulling duty in a semi-hollow I have.

Great! The pearloid pickups with the gold rings look really nice against the tobacco.

I'll be interested to see if the GFS sounds as good as they look. Worth a try for $35 each  :headbang:

gonna get some gold knobs too.  I have an LPS pickguard from Warmoth ordered...that will be my warmoth content... :toothy11:
gonna use it to cover up the neck joint between the two pups.  Color is the pearloid that should match the PUs well.

I would prefer a wraparound bridge, but that thing is looking great! I love Jrs. Way cool.

I know the wraparounds are more traditional...but I wanted the fishman on this...

Hey DR - here's a dumb question:  do you need a Gotoh bridge and a Powerbridge?

sorry...my bad...GOTOH tailstop.

 

[CrackedPepper]

Ahh that makes sense!  Thanks!

here is the finished product.  I did use a WARMOTH LPS pickguard that I had to modify just a bit.  The Fishman piezo is amazing!!!

 

[Watershed]

Wow, great job!
Came together great.
The pickguard matching the pickups is a nice call.
How does it feel?

 

[dmraco]

feels great.  I have to get used to the 50's profile neck but it plays like a dream.

I will work on it.  I will plug it directly into a board to all the clean tones can be heard.
