Remodding My 2013 Gibson Les Paul Traditional Part 2 of 3

So, I wasn’t prepared to do a part 2 for my previous blog with the same title, but in my haste, I discovered a few things that made me reconsider my options for modifying my Les Paul more (or less) than before. Initially, I wanted to go with 50s wiring; I really dig the tone. I wanted to replace the entire wiring harness to get as close to a ‘59 Les Paul as possible, mainly for the Bumblebee capacitors. Don’t get me wrong, I really like the tone I have. The capacitors installed in my LP are Russian PIO capacitors (.022uF 630V K40Y-9 paper in oil). The wiring configuration is that of the 50s wiring on the ‘59. I’ve had my LP for almost a year, and I just discovered this. I guess the original owner had the same idea as I did. The only other changes now are the hardware—bridge, stop bar, tone and volume knobs, etc.

At first, I was interested in using 50s wiring because I really enjoy that tone. My original plan was to replace the entire wiring harness to get as close as possible to a '59 Les Paul, particularly to incorporate Bumblebee capacitors.

That said, I do appreciate the tone I currently have. My Les Paul is fitted with Russian PIO capacitors (.022uF 630V K40Y-9 paper in oil), and it just so happens that the wiring configuration mirrors the 50s setup found in the '59 model. I've had my LP for almost a year, and I only just discovered this. It seems like the original owner had the same idea as I did.

The only other modifications I've made are to the hardware, including the bridge, stop bar, and the tone and volume knobs.
