'The Ultimate' wiring for Les Paul® is a full featured and comprehensive wiring upgrade, designed to give you all of the best Les Paul sounds in one setup. 

Based on the wiring used by Jimmy Page, but even more versatile.

The extra sounds are activated using three push / pull pots, so no extra mods are required to the body of your guitar.

FEATURES:

'VINTAGE 50'S' MODE

Allow for some treble roll off when you roll back your volume control for an easy bridge between perfect warm cleans and searing leads.

The 'Vintage 50's' wiring mod is a super popular Les Paul wiring upgrade that reverts your stock LP wiring back to the glory days, and the beginning of the Vintage Les Paul. This is our most popular and personal favorite Les Paul wiring.

'60'S PLUS' MODE

Prevent treble loss when you roll back the volume for greater clarity and cut through at reduced volume levels.

The Obsidian® '60's Plus' wiring is made for clarity and cut through with an improved circuit that will help you retain treble at all volume levels.

Swiss Army knife for tone chasing. + a note for installing

Realllllly helped bring out my neck pickup from muddy to an insane amount of tonal options. It’s like having a pedal on your guitar. Definitely recommend getting this before you change your pickups. You Can get crazy amounts of different tones on one guitar! Gone from barely playing my les Paul to the first guitar I grab. Was going to change my pickups soo glad I changed to this wiring instead.
One thing that I didn’t find in any reviews and I was a little worried about that I can’t believe hasn’t been addressed in any of the videos /reviews currently out there at the time of writing is how great the range of the tone pots are!! All the reviews have been about the volume. If you like to ride your tone nob for lots of different flavours like a LP JR. you’ll love this. The tone pots on this give you a great range and sweep the tone spectrum beautifully. Really is a super upgrade.
Lastly the other thing that’s not mentioned and will save you a lot of time on install is when you push down on the solder-less wiring button to insert the pickup or any wiring into it.
‘You’re not clamping down on the wire!’ When you push the button. You’re opening up the hole to insert wiring and it will clamp down on it when you release the button. So push down on the button before inserting the wire and then release the button to hold the wire in place. It will be a lot quicker and easier and save you the headache if you know this ahead of time.
