MKII for Les Paul® (Vintage 50s & Modern 60s Wiring)

Didn't Fit My R8

The circuit board of the harness did not fit in the control cavity of my 2021 Gibson 58RI. One side hit the edge of the cavity well before the post could clear the top, so it was basically worthless for the guitar I wanted to install it in. Also, don't plan on using for existing pickups if you they have braided wire. Even if the harness fit, that would have been an issue.

A quick and easy way to upgrade

This is such a quick and easy way to upgrade the wiring in your Les Paul, in my case it was an Epiphone Modern LP. I did have to enlarge the hole a bit so the Obsidianwire kit would fit, but you should expect since Epiphone uses the smaller metric size pots. I used this kit because I was installing Seymour Duncan Limited 59 PAF humbuckers and didn't want to go through the hassle of getting new pots, caps etc and then having to solder everything together. The only soldering I had to do was un-soldering the ground wire for the bridge from the OEM pot. I didn't have to solder anything installing the 2-wire humbuckers. I also love the ability of choosing between 50's and 60's wiring style. After playing the switches in different position I settled on 50's for my neck pickup and 60's bridge.

Excellent product
