GIBSON 50s WIRING
The wiring on this one has been upgraded by guitar electronics tech Steve McKinley to the Gibson 1950s Wiring, which is usually reserved for only Gibson’s most expensive Les Pauls.
Once you hear it, you'll understand why.
Pickups guru Lindy Fralin does a nice job of explaining Gibson’s 50s wiring:
Gibson's ’50s Wiring applies to a pickup with its own respective Volume Pot and Tone Pot.
It involves how the tone cap is wired into the guitar.
There are many ways to wire a Tone Cap, but, without getting too technical, the way the tone cap connects between your pots actually changes how your Volume Pots and Tone Pots interact with each other.
There are subtle differences between the two that might actually suit your playing style better.
ORANGE DROP CAPACITOR
The .
022uF Orange Drop Capacitor is the choice of many discerning players for its superior tone and dynamics.
Its significant difference is immediately noticeable and forever appreciated.
