Jimmy Page's #2 Les Paul

Re: Jimmy Page's #2 Les Paul

Well, just when I thought that nothing beats plain antiquity humbuckers...

I tried the Jimmy Page combo (both humbuckers, in series, out of phase) in two combinations:

• An APH2 bridge version in the neck with a JB in the bridge
• A '59 neck and a CC in the bridge

This is just awesome. I'll never run without this capability anymore. As mentioned in the other mod thread, I rather lose the normal two-humbucker (parallel) sound and flip a magnet in one pickup than not having this.

OK, so now for opening these Ants...

In the hand drawn diagram, what wire is what? I apologize if I seem :lame: but I really want the one push pull, but can't figure it out! I have the explorer with 2 vol, 1 tone. I only have one push pull for now as I have to wait for another to do coil splits, but I want to at least wire up the series/out of phase.

Not sure I understand the question. You can use the switch in any of the push-pulls for any purpose. The switches in the push-pulls are in no way connected to the potentiometer part.

Yeah,
I know that part, but in the drawing all the wires are black... no green, white, red ect. I don't know much about wiring and diagrams, which is why I use the duncan diagrams. Thanks!

The diagram doesn't make use of the 4-conductors at all. You first munch green and white together and forget about them (or use the split switch there). The result is that you have two wires (plus ground) out of the pickups, which are the wires that are shown in the drawing.
