Here is a dodgy unboxing video I made today of my new arrival. B Hefner 50's strat body, finished by MJT

So I have been looking at 1956 pickups for my Brownie style strat project. I wondered what info / ideas/ opinions etc of the following sets. This is without touching on SD's, Fender 56 variation they offer and every other manufacturer! MOJOTONE "LEE DICKSON BROWN-E"...

Hi I'm making a Brownie strat replica and am looking for traditional 1956 pickups to put in it. I know most of the top makers can wind anything to a decent 1956 representation but wondered if anyone had any experience with the list below or any others that comes to mind? Klein 1956 Epic...

Re: Who's working on a build right now? Let's see your stuff! I have now received all of the parts for my Les Paul build. This is all going off to my guitar tech tomorrow for assembly. I'll post pics when its complete. Precision Guitar Kits Contoured heel & belly cut Les Paul - 60's slim neck...

Just received these from Germany:knockedou They are going into this:

Well after 20 weeks my LP from PGK has arrived here in the UK from Canada. I'm absolutely over he moon with it. They finished it in-house for me and the quality is staggering for the money and genuinely knocks spots of any Gibson offerings I've seen lately. It has a 60's slim taper neck...

Re: Wiring diagram for vintage 50's with phase Does this diagram make sense?

Hi Does anyone have a diagram for vintage 50's Les Paul wiring but with a push pull for neck / bridge out of phase tone? I have the SD one but it is for modern wiring rather than vintage Thanks
