Just got this installed in my les paul. Huge difference from stock wiring. Big open sound with this is the noticeable improvement. it sounds fuller. Not as compressed sounding but low end is more defined yet still very warm. Its almost like you can feel the notes and chords more when you play. Almost like your fretting hand and picking hand are more in harmony if that makes sense. It's almost like the strings and tones are heavier where you have to feel it more (in a good way). String separation has improved and like i said in another post, it sounds like a big boy guitar now. Overall very happy with this upgrade. It really opens up the pickups and makes them sound better than they ever did. very happy with this improvement. Good job RsGuitarworks!!

Re: RS Guitarworks wiring upgrade
I've got an RS kit in my Les Paul also. It's a fantastic upgrade, their stuff is nice! I've got a Brobucker bridge, and an Antiquity neck in a 94 LP Studio, and it's one of the meatiest buy most versatile guitars I've ever played. Everything just seems to ring and respond better when the electronics are quality, even with some stock pickup arrangements.Originally posted by crusty philtrum...Gimme a call when it's time to take 'em out.

Re: RS Guitarworks wiring upgrade
I've actually got the kit sitting beside my desk...moved across country 4 months ago and haven't had a chance to install it yet. My LP Traditional is somewhat muddy sounding and I heard this was an improvement so I'm wanting to try it as soon as I get some time. Also having some trouble deciding what pickups will go into it. Have considered leaving the 57 Classics and trying them with the new wiring, but I am thinking they're probably going to get replaced.2007 Strat ('78 bridge, a2 Pro neck)

Re: RS Guitarworks wiring upgrade
So, with everything on '10' is there a difference, or just when you dial the pots down?"Completely Conceded Glowing Expert."
"And Blueman, I am pretty sure you've pissed off a lot of people."
"Wait, I know! Blueman and Lew can arm wrestle, and the winner gets to decide if 250K pots sound good or not."

Originally posted by dvanburen View Postboth. with everything on ten its very noticeable right off the bat. dont notice a huge difference on the tone controls other than it stays more usable longer as you turn the tone down. But i always keep tone between 8-10 anyway. Volume is a big difference. It will clean up very nicely as the volume knob is rolled back while still sounding open and chimey"Completely Conceded Glowing Expert."
