I didn't know that Gibson don't really sheild.

As a side note, I bought some sticky back copper tape to sheild the electrics on a project.  It's a right bitch to install so I layed it over some cardboard that was cut to shape and glued that in.  The copper tape came from the garden centre as you're supposed to stick it around the bottom of plant pots to stop slugs.  Cheaper than the stuff from guitar suppliers.

Looks like normal modern Les Paul wiring to me.  cr@ppily executed of course...


Yes its so bad!

In Rose Morris in London this exact guitar costs £1,889. I nearly fainted when I saw the price. And what do you get? Electronics which fail within a couple of years.  

I've built a couple of fx pedals myself so i'm really anal about tidy wiring and proper electronics connections.

So now I've ordered a premium wiring upgrade kit from Speciality guitars in US so when I install my new VHII's, I'll change pots and caps.

Shouldn't really have to do this on a Gibson.
