  • My Les Paul Custom Part II

    Here she is meaner than ever. Hope you guys like it. I'm still stuck on how to fix the pickup switch. The hole is way bigger than it should be so it just floats. My friends idea was to buy a new ring and just glue it. What do you guys think?

    It already looks 10x better.

      That looks a MILLION times better, seriously, great job!

      I was THIS close to coming over there and pulling the duct tape off myself!
      You took too much, man. Too much. Too much.

        Great job man! You can fix the hole with a plug, but it is a bit of work and not the easiest job to tackle if you have never tried it. That is what I would recommend.

          Yup, that looks much better - To me, LPs always look wrong with that sort of issue, whereas strats just look cool!

            You've gone this far and have done a great job. Have the hole fixed correctly - no more "electrical tape"/"backyard hack" fixes for this axe LOL!

                Kudos man, it looks great. Much much better now.

                There are 2 things I'd do, only because I am anal. The neck and middle pickup, I would turn so that the poles are facing the other way. Also, I would plug and fix the hole for the switch. But that's just me.

                  Nice job. How do you like having 3 pups? How did you wire it? Along the lines of what Stuka pointed out, aren't the neck and bridge out of phase in that orientation? Wood plug for the switch sounds like a good idea.

                          I felt so sorry for that thing before...and now it just drips with mojo. What an improvement!

                          Definitely dowel and redrill the pickup selector. Even a pro repair shouldn't be that expensive.

                              Ditto... the pickups look funny put in backwards.
