This is a great example of a historic R0 makeover from Vintage Voltage Guitars. These makeovers include replacement of all the hardware with our vintage spec and relic aged parts. We also rewire to 1950s spec with cloth covered wire. It was built off of a 2022 Les Paul classic honey burst that is really closer to a plain top. It‘s in excellent condition with some small scratches and nicks on the back so we went with a new old stock vibe on this build. She screams with ‘61 Burstbuckers wired for coil splitting in the neck. This guitar likes to be setup at medium low action to get the maximum resonance, so that’s where I’ve got her. The setup feels great with the 60s style slim neck.
