I apologize if this is a double post, I swear I posted this thread once before but it never showed up in the list. Anyway, I'm going to do something stupid yet fun. I found a good deal on a LP Traditional of the non weighed relieved variety. As much as I love the R9s I dislike the price and I would prefer a different color. So, I thought I'd take a page from Fender's book and do an alternate timeline '59. I'm not going for historic, just getting 90% the way there on tone and also looking like it's been sitting in a case for a few years (age relic not wear).
What I'm looking at swapping out thus far:
My question is if the hardware is really that different on an Rx? If so, how do I go about finding it?
What I'm looking at swapping out thus far:
- PAF clones with warn covers (not sure on maker or output, I'm still looking into this)
- Vintage spec pickup rings
- Pointer knobs
- Vintage spec pots/switch/caps
- 50s style wiring
