    The coolest guy I know

    So, a guy some of you know, ganzonomy gave me a little congratulatory something for doing well in school. Being just the all around kick ass guy that he it's, he decided my Les needed a little upgrade. Well, RS GuitarWorks makes a nice, nay, amazing kit for upgrading a Les Paul. So, he sends it my way, and it teams up with the Antiquity neck HB, and the Brobucker to melt faces off. So I decided to document the process, and let everyone know how cool ganz is. He's been a cool guy and a good friend regardless of donating entirely tool much awesomeness to my guitars. He's listened to my crazy stuff, and talked me through some trying crap. I owe him many top shelf beers, I think I need to make a motorcycle trip...

    Anyways, pics follow.

          Nice! The after pic looks much cleaner. The braided wire is soldered onto the ends of your pickups wires, yes? I take it it's also used to go from pots to switch and to the output jack?

            NICE! seeing liberated guitars always makes me happy. As does good photography of the open-heart surgery

            It was my pleasure to help with more guitar superhappyfuntime.

                That's great.

                So, what did the upgrade kit do for the guitar? I've thought about modding both of my Pauls with RS parts for a while. I really wish they offered 1 meg pots, though.

                    I thought the 'coolest guy' was the guy in the Dos Equis commercials, you know, the most interesting man in the world.

                        Looks great. I've been wanting to get one of those rs kits for my studio deluxe and get get rid of the stock push pull pots since I'm using Ant's. How's it sound.

                          VERY cool of you Ganz! This brotherly love is making me misty. Im getting alittle farklempt... Tawk amongst yourselves... Ill give you a topic...What good is a 500k pot if you can neither get high from it or cook with it???


                          Ok, Im together now... That wiring kit looks so tidy.. Getting one of those RS kits is on my to do list for my LP after tubes for my amp. I hear nothing but great things.

                          Trevorus, bet that pup combo rulz! Still playing with the Sisters?? I need to check out the site

                          I dont know how the thumbs down got up there.. Not intentional...
                          Believe me when I say that some of the most amazing music in history was made on equipment that's not as good as what you own right now.
