GREENIE Episode 6. How to make Les Paul '50 Wiring.

The project of a copy of the legendary Les Paul Peter Green / Gary Moore is coming to an end and all that is left is to do the wiring of the timbre block and assemble the guitar. In this video, I will show you how to properly do the fifties wiring for Les Paul.

Great video Dr. Nitro! I have a 1989 Heritage Vintage Sunburst (like a faded Tobacco Burst) Gibson Les Paul Standard that I bought new, of course this guitar had modern wiring, and I played the guitar for about 30 years like original, then changed the pickups for a set of nickel covered Seymour Duncan 59's, and installed a new switch, jack and 1950's wiring with PIO capacitors (.022 mf). The difference in tone is very clear and now I can obtain tones I have only heard on recordings! The guitar seems more responsive to my playing dynamics as well as the settings of the tone and volume controls. Rock on, my friend!!

I will definitely be ordering components, and learning from your process, I am in the process of locating the proper wood for my personal replica.
Thank you for sharing.

Sehr informativ. Ich habe meine erste les paul vor 15 Jahren gebaut. Aber schon lange keine weitere Gitarre. Ich werde diesen Winter wieder eine Les Paul und eine Flying v Korina bauen. Danke dir für diese Videos

Nice series of videos, very informative.
I hope you remembered to turn the magnet around in the neck pickup like in the original Greenie. It may have also been wired backwards.
I look forward to the next installment.

Oooo... I have been enjoying this series, but this is extra good, because I want to eventually make/commission a Peter Green tribute guitar. I have a look I want for it that isn't mimicking the way that the original guitar looks. (or ever looked) My main focus is the sound, and this really starts getting to that.

I have the u.47 pio russian cap in my squier 50s p bass with cts 500k pots and vintage cloth electro silver wires. Wired a sd hotrails bridge for strat and it sounds great on bass. I feel alot of pickups are to bright and always roll down the volume and tone a bit on all my guitars/basses even with premium electronics

For my liking I’ve put 0.15mF orange drop caps on the tone pots in two humbucker guitars and a Telly with Fender N3 pickups. Now I have from 10 to zero very usuable tones, never too muddy. The high mids come thru from 9 till 2. Just the very high frequencies get filtered out. Before the mod I found the tone from 4-0 with 0.33mF and 0.47mF caps too muddy, even for jazz. And from 7-4 there were too much high mids cut out. But I have to admit, I like the sound of old/very old strings. Mine are about 5 years old, on 4 out of 6 guitars.
Only my LP style „black beauty“ has got 0.22mF caps.
Conform some tests here on YT, I honestly neglect the almost unhearable difference between PIO, bumblebee and orange drop caps. If of good quality, and not minuscule tiny, there should be nothing to worry about. The value and the tolerances will make a difference…
But I only play for myself on affordable guitars (but heavilly upgraded) and cheap (but pretty good) modelling amp and pedals….

I've done that very thing with a single humbucker Beretta , so when I turn the tone down it then sounds very much like using a neck pickup.

Exactly👍🏼

I love 0.015 too, especially for the neck pickup.
