Hey
I am working on restoring a 59 Les Paul Junior. To summarize the previous owner, during the 70's
hacked with a chisel the P-90 route and replaced it with a Patent sticker T Top.
Fair enough, i purchased a used P-90 replacement pickup by Seymour Duncan. (Uh btw they don't cut it.)
and then I started the replacement. During the removal of the T Top I noticed there was a ground wire or something
like it that had been soldered onto the base plate of the humbucker. I have never seen this before and didn't know whether or not to
attach it to the base plate of the P90. Regardless I put the P-90 in and I notice there is an occasional distortion or clipping at the end of the some notes.
Does anyone know why this would happen and thanks.
