“Changing to ’50s wiring is one of the simplest (and cheapest) mods you can do”: How to make your guitar look and sound more vintage – for very little money (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My friend James had been gassing for a ’50s-style single-cutaway Les Paul Junior and got a pretty good deal at Gibson’s Garage for a sunburst VTB model. To be fair, the VTB version is more ‘in the spirit of’ than an accurate vintage reissue. Gibson’s VSB VOS Junior ticks that box very nicely, but it costs around £2,000 more than the VBT. Rather than break the bank, James bought the cheaper version and asked me to get it closer to vintage spec. This project isn’t going to demand any advanced luth
“Anything that sounds remotely like a Tele is that Esquire. It’s my impression of Keith Richards”: Steve Lukather played his 1951 Esquire on sessions with Joni Mitchell and Dolly Parton. And it tells us a lot about the evolution of the Fender Telecaster (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you mention the words Fender and Esquire, most guitarists these days will picture a Telecaster-style guitar with no neck pickup. Fender’s Esquire model actually predated the Telecaster, and indeed the Broadcaster, having first been produced in the spring of 1950. Although a single bridge pickup was standard, Fender soon began offering a two-pickup ‘double Esquire’ version for a modest upcharge. Some Esquires were also returned to the factory to have neck pickups installed, and others were con
“Every artist that has played it goes crazy about it – it has been owned by two legends for a reason”: Up close with the Les Paul Custom that both Paul Kossoff and Eric Clapton owned (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Les Paul was a man of many fine qualities, but understatement probably wasn’t one of them. Rather than ease loyal Gibson customers into the concept of a solidbody electric guitar, Les came out swinging when he specified a metallic gold finish for his official signature model. Back in 1952, it would have shone like a supernova in an era of muted sunbursts. With the metaphorical dial already turned to 10, Gibson had its work cut out when devising an even more upmarket version of Les Paul’s signatu
How to install LR Baggs’ HiFi Duet acoustic pickup – and yes, we’re gonna drill a hole in Chris Buck’s guitar (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Prior to embarking on an unplugged tour, Cardinal Black guitarist Chris Buck decided he needed a really good acoustic guitar. He chose a lovely used Atkin OM37, but there was one slight hitch: it needed a pickup system. After doing some research, Chris decided on LR Baggs HiFi Duet and asked me to fit it for him. Although some of the procedures are specific to LR Baggs, much of the work required applies to acoustic pickup systems in general. The HiFi Duet comprises two pickups and a small electr
The most difficult job in guitar maintenance? How to make and install an ES-335 wiring harness – and why it's easier than you think (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s probably fair to say that very few guitar techs enjoy doing wiring work on Gibson semis. I attempted a repair on my old ES-330 for the first time a few decades ago. It took me about an hour to get the loom out and a fortnight to put it back in… Some compare the task to putting a ship in a bottle, but once you know a few tricks and techniques, it can make wiring a little easier than you think. Our subject is a late-’00s Gibson ES-335 with scratchy potentiometers and tone controls with no aud
