Gibson Meets Fender - Les Paul and SG Mod

In this post, I will show you some pretty unique concept. I made a wiring, which can add a little bit of Fender's vibes to your Gibson/Epiphone Les Paul or SG. It will not make your guitar able to sound just like a Stratocaster or a Tele. It's something one of a kind, but it will put in your instrument some cool single-coil based circuit. It sounds really nice in a Gibson-style body.

Wiring Mod for Gibson Guitars - More Aggression

Today, I would like to show you a wiring mod for Les Paul, SG and similar guitars. I designed it to make my SG more distinct and aggressive on the bridge position. On the neck position it's still a typical Gibson - fat and full. Another interesting thing in my guitar with this custom wiring is the centre position of the switch - bridge and neck. In this configuration, my SG has got a wide frequency range, it sounds very acoustically.

All you need to have to make it is a DPDT on-off-on toggle switch and two capacitors (ceramic or film) - 4,7nF and 5,6nF.
