Thanks Donny

I just finished the 50s wiring with the orange drops, and the guitar "Woke Up". I Will fiddle around with the guitar today to see what this wiring offers, but it sure is a major difference. The modern wiring for my taste, al east at lower volumes, was muffed and lacks luster.

Thanks Again ... I still have to take off the covers and get rid of the extra wax next time I change the strings.

Cheers

Im glad you like it :)
I just put PIOs in a country picker customers Les Paul and Tele he was thrilled with the change.
Im doing a magnet swap in a humbucker next :)



A magnet swap is way beyond my capabilities :oops:
The 490/498 aren't that bad either. Compared with the SD JB Jazz I have in my Schecter they sound more alive. I might need to put some orange drops or PIO's in that one too.

Next in line for me is changing the tremolo system on my deluxe the next time I change strings. I guess you said in another board that you liked the milled saddles with a calaham block more than the bent steel ones. I got the entire system I guess I gotta fiddle with that too.

Cheers and thanks again

PIOs are very lush and can almost be compared to tubes versus solid state.
PIOs are warm and full and in the neck I have found you cant run a .022 in a Les Paul.
I use a .015
In my American Deluxe I used a .022 PIO.
In my American Standard I used an orange drop
They have exact same pickups but sound very different.
I did the same with my Custom and Standard Les Pauls
Now I am going to exchange the Alnico 5 magnet in the 498t for an Alnico 2.
Effectively making it a 57 Classic super plus lol.
