Can you tell me how you do that modification? I literally JUST bought one, and that sounds sick as hell. And do you know if anyone else would know how to do it?
I don't know that it's online. You need a humbucker with 4 conductor wiring. Example (DiMarzio) would be red wire is hot, green is ground, black and white are the other 2. Looking at the tone pot, shaft down/posts toward you, solder the black and white to the left post, the center post is ground and the tone cap from the volume control connects to the right post. 0-9 on tone control is normal tone/humbucker, 10 is single coil.
Love the single-coil tone control mod. Amazing versatility! Are there any wiring diagrams or documentation online about this mod? Is it conceivable that you could mod a new Epi Les Paul Ultra 2 in the same way?
I bought my 78 Black Beauty Custom new in 79 for $636.00. I love my guitar after all these years. I had two Ibanez Les Paul Copies before I had money for the real deal. They were ok but actually they sucked. Not even close to the best in the world. GIBSON!!!

I had an amp repair technician do it several years ago. Any qualified amp tech should be able to make that change for you.

Wow! That's less than I paid for my LP Vintage Mahogany back in '05 ($850.00)!

Luckily we snagged them when they were more affordable! They are the benchmark.
