• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

I’m wanting to upgrade the wiring harness in my ‘13 57 historic gold top. Anyone have personal experience with either of these? Stock harness leaves a little to be desired as far as volume and tone usage, as I know everyone here is aware. Thanks for the help in advance!

Go for the ThroBak 50's wiring harness with Paper in Oil Bumble Bee caps and 500 k pots. I have one on order for one of my Les Paul's and I love there pickups- MXV-SLE-101 Plus and have 4 more sets on order as well , which will make 7 Les Paul's with Throbak Pickups for me . www.throbak.com

I got a Creamtone harness with real PIO bumblebees that is currently being put in my 2015 CS9 while it undergoes a historic makeover. I read lots of good things around here about the Creamtone parts. I'm afraid I will not be able to comment on how it sounds for about another month.
