I have a set of their long anchor strap pins.

Since 09, historics have come with longer strap pins/screws and these are an exact fit, except the aluminum button is sturdier and the screw is steel instead of the wimpy brass that historics have.

I replaced all the factory chrome hardware and plastics on my 2010 Traditional Plus with Creamtone aged nickel and correct colored plastics.

Here is the stock Gibson pinkish colored guard next to the Creamtone. I also used an aged nickel bracket.

Here is the guitar before and after.

Lonnie stocks excellent products that are fairly priced ...plus he couldn't be any more friendly to deal with :salude

I have Creamtone Vintage rings (not the regular ones they used to offer). They are a nice off white, not cream, and go well with the Mojotone vintage cut guard, which is creamier, but not as bad as the Gibson Historic guards. Also have the Creamtone jack plate after breaking the original.

Just ordered a set of their Truvintage Gold Bonnet Knobs. Can't wait until they arrive.

Lonnie has always been a pleasure to deal with, no problems at all. I would say, as with the other repro parts dealers there are certain items which are great, others not quite so. I have a custom pickguard & plain back plates from him. Pickguard is pretty spot on, the backplate for the toggle switch likes to resonate annoyingly sometimes.

Not to disrespect Lonnie & creamtone in any way. I would just say, if your really finickity as I am, then it nearly always ends being Bartlett as their stuff is nigh on identical.

Regards the member asking about wiring harnesses. I'd say drop Lonnie a line. CTS pots can all be matched, the PIO caps are tricky because they are quite literally, all over the place ! I would imagine they are picked to be 'within range' ie 20% either way & wired neck or bridge, depending upon that.

I have their wiring kit with drifted bumblebees installed in my 2014 Traditional, along with a set of 1970 Patent Sticker T-Tops.
I am totally satisfied with the sound. I don't know what the kit adds to the sound, but it's not going to be changed. I get compliments on the "old-school" sound whenever I play it out.
