Scored another Greco LPC.

Nice score, sweet looking LP!

Looks like all your amps just got out of the shower, not sure how comfortable I am with these locker room shots.

3 cats in da house trying to minimize cat hair infestation. The cats are definitely worth it for us but the hair gets everywhere no matter what.

I am with you on that. We have 3 cats as well. Had golden/lab for 13/14 years too and she shed like crazy. It's definitely lighter with just the 3 cats and 2 of them really shed. The youngest one not a lot. But yeah, I get it.

And that is a sweet Greco. Looks like those DiMarzios are old PAF's. I love the old design before they changed to the 36th Anniversary.

My 1976 Greco has Japan Maxon pups which are A-8 magnets the same pickups that was in EVH's Ibanez Shark guitar. They are outstanding.

That they are. I have a set of crusty old Super 70s that I stuck in a Dean Z and they’re staying.

Sweet score! I’m more than a little envious!
Congrats!!

Thanks to all !

You need to get a talkbox, Pete.

Nice score. Those old Grecos are great guitars. I've got a '77 Greco LPC with the Duncan Mayhem set.

 

[UnderTheFlame83]

Very nice score. I bet it plays good. If I had that axe I'd put Black Winters in just cause

Have had one for years. Not a Heil but works great w/a vocal mic.

New bridge. A bridge is such an important part of a guitar especially a Les Paul.
This is like the 3rd Wilkinson ABR-1 bridge ive bought they're outstanding for the money. under $30 bucks.

 

[beaubrummels]

That guitar is 10x hot. So many ways to take that one. 3 white rings for full-Frampton. Or gold covers for Richards. Maybe black switch tip for Page's one-that-got-away. Or could go gold switch, gold top hats, maybe even gold rings for a totally custom class act. Gold pickguard. (Maybe that ain't you, but yeah I like gold)

 

[Securb]

Makes me want to take the covers off my HHH Les Paul. The 6 coils in a row look so cool almost steampunk.

New Wilkinson neck pup is installed. For $18 bucks gotta say pretty decent.
Wish there were parts like these in da 80's cuz there was not much around.

Can you compare the new pickup to the old one?

The old 70's DiMarzio had this huge bottom end that was just not workable. And there was no way to brighten it up or reduce the bottom. It did have a nice fuzzy kind of distortion thing going on but just wasn't a good fit for me.
The Wilkinson has a better dynamic range and can get a sweet woman tone going when rolled off the tone knob.
Will likely replace the Wilkinson at some point w/a SD Alnico Pro II or a SH-1 59'.

I got a Wilkinson roller bridge and Schaller tailpiece with fine tuners for my 2007 Epiphone LPC, 1974 Gibson LPC and my 1971 Gibson Medallion Series Flying V.

Wilkinson makes some quality after market hardware.

Absolutely they do and at a very working man's price.
