Upgrades!

Okay it's been a while since I last posted, joys of real life getting in the way unfortunately.

After a bit of research I've ordered some parts...

Pickups - I've gone for the Wilkinson Hot PAF's.  They are based on the same design as originally made by the Gibson Guitar Company, are cost effective and have good reviews.  I got this as pair from Vanson Guitars Ebay store as they offered the 4 wire version which allows for coil splitting.

Tone Capacitors - I've gone for Sprague Orange Drop 0.22 bought from Amazon.  They were chosen after reading reviews and advice on the My Les Paul forum

Push Pull Pots - Again bought off Amazon,  I got these so I could take advantage of the split coil wiring option included with the Wilkinson Hot PAF's

And lastly I've also ordered some strap locks because as I know from experience there is nothing worse than your precious guitar dropping to the floor because the straps come off!

I got these from Craigs Music Ebay store along with a plain black strap, and bless them, they didn't have the colour locks I ordered and because I accepted the alternative I got a free leather pick holder keyring!

I'll get the bits fitted as soon as they get here and while the guitar is stripped down I'll also get the frets levels and dressed.
