Well ... they say essential.They're "possible" mods, not required.
Just googled that.there was no mention of the maple flame mod for bridge posts.
They had to get to the number 25 somehow.1) How is top-wrapping a mod?
2) Adjusting pickup & polepiece height should be part of a set up, again not a mod.
3) Although they mentioned an al-you-min-ee-yum tailpiece, tailpiece clamping & referred to Faber, there was no mention of the maple flame mod for bridge posts.
He also swapped out the original PAF for a T-Top (aka what was available at the time) in the early 70s, so boutique PAF clones (or even vintage) may not get you the sound you want depending on what era JP tone you're chasing.That Jimmy Page wiring always makes me laugh. Page didn't do that stuff to his own guitars until after the Zeppelin era so all the people who do this mod thinking they are getting his Zeppelin tones are actually getting his tone with The Firm and The Black Crowes.
I thought so too. Even if we get one point or suggestion from them, it's a positive post. Keep posting those interesting articlesEveryone is a critic.
I thought that there were a few good references within the article.
I won't bother next time.
I actually just ordered one of these guys in nickel, so I can age it. I've been missing a trem. My only worry is that there is some sort of sacrifice with tone and/or sustain. Either way, it'll be easy to remove and easy to sell, since it'll be here instead of Europe (which seems to be the only place to buy them.)
Aging it should also help sell it plus a few pics with the trem arm removed (it doesn't look too bad with the arm out).

Unless you are the kinda guy that always leaves everything on 10, do the 50s wiring.The '50s wiring does interest me, though my LP will probably stay stock, at least for now.
Now it all makes sense.......your 80s guitar god is actually Neil Schon.I actually just ordered one of these guys in nickel, so I can age it. I've been missing a trem. My only worry is that there is some sort of sacrifice with tone and/or sustain. Either way, it'll be easy to remove and easy to sell, since it'll be here instead of Europe (which seems to be the only place to buy them.)
