Hi guys! Weird question I know.
I started with a stock 2003 LP Standard with Gibson 300k pots, ceramic .022 disk caps. I never gave it a chance and never gigged with the guitar till I tinkered!
I installed the R/S kit which includes 500k CTS pots, .022 Hovland caps and special wiring. I since went back to standard wiring using the new components. Things were BRIGHT!
I then installed the Duncan C-5 and things didn't seem as bad but still bright. I then moved to the Rio grande BBQ. Still kind a bright! I thought the standard was .022 caps and 500k pots! I am a little annoyed. I tend to play everything on 10 (guitar knobs)!
Should I replace all the electronics with the stock Gibson electronics and swap pickups from that point?? Would a .047 or .033 cap be better?? I am at a loss!
My tech and I seem to feel the stock set up sounded best but I haven't gigged with it.
