Sound can be hard to describe, but with '50s wiring, the guitar's tone gets stronger and more transparent, and notes seem to “bloom" after being played. Electronically, there's nothing extraordinary going on: '50s wiring simply connects the tone pot to the output of the volume pot (the middle lug), instead of connecting the tone pot to the volume pot's input, which is how Gibson does it now. What is '50s wiring? Sometimes called “vintage wiring," it's how Gibson configured all their electric guitars in the late '50s, including the coveted 'burst Les Pauls. It's time to remedy this, but with a twist: I'll show you how to create a switchable circuit for your Les Paul that offers both the '50s wiring and the modern wiring Gibson uses today. In the decade I've been writing Mod Garage, we've explored how to hot-rod Teles and Strats with “Gibson '50s wiring," yet never addressed the guitar that gave us this wiring-the Les Paul.

I purchased this guitar from Gibson Demo Shop about 2 months ago, but played less than 1 hour total, this guitar is too fancy and too expensive for me, I get nervous every time I pick it up. The guitar is pretty much new, still has that sweet nitro smell Gibsons are known for. The color is amazing too, especially in direct sunlight.
This is an absolutely gorgeous Standard HP, the maple top is one of the best I've seen on any brand, is super active, and moves at different angles. Gibson Les Paul Standard HP 2018, Blood Orange Fade
