Farging magnets. Roger- Wilco - Out. (sorry man, couldn't help myself.

Great stuff. Thanks for the links. Can't help but think the links below apply to me. I mean what kinda person actually likes this kind of stuff? Unplugged Studio Version

Thanks Wilko, I'm a little confused AND I don't have a compass. But confusion is the gateway to learning so thanks man.

Wow, we've got creative folks here. No surprise being musicians 'eh. Doc and Rock, if I were to follow your lead I'd name my next guitar Bitchy Mc'Bitchface.

I decided to name my Les Pauls today. Not sure why but, if forced to guess, I got tired of referring to them as "The Goldtop and The Standard" and I've really bonded with these to instruments after being Fender-thusiast for decades. So let it be decreed that, from this day forward, my 2011...

Wow. Those are two mighty perty guitars. Sounds like it's time to come out retirement, re-retire and get an SG this time. ;)

Good question. When I had mine custom shop version the wiring was quickly changed to include a blend function for the middle pickup.

P.S. https://www.guitarinsite.nl/serienummers-potmeter_eng.php

Grog has it right. The date code on the pots will tell the story. BTW, the guitar dater project had this to say. "Your guitar was made at the Kalamazoo Or Nashville Plant, USA in 1970, 1971 Or 1972 Production Number: 105001"

0000 steel wool anyone?

That kinda makes sense if not for the fact that the pen marks are on the long side of the pickup on the short side (poles). Sorry for the lack of clarity on my original post. This is an alnico 3 magnet from a 80's T-Top. https://photos.app.goo.gl/hjB9ZGiT1kSqoyRJ7

Agreed. Tech Rule 1 - Verify your plan is 100% good to go. In this case wiring diagrams and component values should be understood and verified to be right propa! Tech Rule 2 - Check your gol dang work! - It's kinda like when the oil change guy forgets to put oil in the car AND doesn't check...

HI Woodfin, sorry for your loss man. As for your guitar, if you have an ohm meter (or could borrow one, you should check the resistance of the controls. It bog simple and they should. If they read 300k you could consider changing them for 500k pots. Or, you could just turn down the bass on your...

Confirmed sighting. I was looking at a P-100 and a T-Top and they both had bar magnets with 3 pen marks on it. I strongly suspect this is an alnico 3. I put one in a Burstbucker pro and it smooth out that nasty ass puppy quite well. Case closed.
