Career Les Paul - Quick Connection makes me Wylde!






Finished another one earlier this week.
It's a rather cheap thing of course but everything that should be straight is straight and it's got the right angles at the right places.
Only setback is the wood. That's why I decided to put EMG pickups into that pale fellow.
I know there are some pairs of ears out there that might dissagree but for me EMGs are the perfect solution for instruments which don't sound so well on their own.
Now the communist copy of my preferred instrument has a Zakk Wylde set installed. I reversed it though, the EMG 81 is at the neck position and the 85 at the bridge.
That quick connection thing of EMG is rather nice, a whole less soldering to do but space is always an issue and I really don't know if this is the way to go. I had quite a hard time fitting everything into the cavity, so soldering might still be my first option.
White pickup frames of course, white knobs and white tip for the toggle.
Funny enough, I'm gonna work on a black LP next!
And yeah it's an Career guitar, so you can start arguing about brands and quality and working conditions right away, in the meantime I'll be throwing my hands in the air, wave them around and so on.


Update: Those black blocks hurt my eyes - yeah, same ones, just different colour.

  1. All of this sounds like moonspeak to me but that's maybe because the only thing I can play on a guitar is "the death of a flying fart".
    So there will be a black LP? I do like black music. I have a Dr. Dre Album thats all black but I'm sure you mean the other black, like the feeling you have after losing something important, like more important than losing your keys. Gimme your new album!
