Hi Gang, I need your advice for those who are experts on LP guitars, i have a 1974 original LP standard natural finish guitar that id like to revamp with good quality hardware Im looking to buy this stuff when i go to the states and have a friend here install the electronics here id like to replace the following items : both new great sounding humbucker pickups tone poties with all the mechanism inside thats wired to them toggle switch selector a good bridge a nut that will help it keep it in tune better and great practical tuners The wood is great on this guitar and it has an amazing sustain but the hardware at the moment is really old oxidated and in really bad shape,the pickups squeal really bad,the poties are partly broken,the toogle switch makes really bad noises,etc. seems like the owner use to be a smoker,it has burn stains on the headstock as well. There is so much option now days with components and technology has gotten really good improving intonation there is also booster poties and such things but im not that knowledgable and prices vary. Essentially id like to preserve a good sounding LP tone,clear spanky fat and round,im a fan of those late 60´s Jeff Beck and Pages tone though the pickups that are on it now make it sound too muddy and undefined specially on the bass position. so i thought i ask here before i go shopping. Thanx for your advice! Luis -- www.luis-angulo.com
