LOVE YOUR LES PAUL
LOVE YOUR
LES PAUL
Whether your Les Paul is a sticker-covered, blood-splattered road warrior or
a much-cherished heirloom, one thing’s for sure: sooner or later, every guitar
needs a little TLC. Before you pick up the phone and arrange an expensive trip
to the luthier, this list of simple xes, mods, upgrades and general maintenance
tips might save you some money and help you sound better into the bargain…
WORDS HUW PRICE, CHRIS VINNICOMBE, JOSH GARDNER
DISCLAIMER If in doubt, we always recommend
seeking out an experienced guitar tech and please
proceed with extreme caution when it comes to
vintage instruments – modifications can devalue
your guitar in the eyes of collectors. All that said,
if you can operate a screwdriver and a soldering
iron and have the patience, there’s often no reason
why you can’t have a go yourself. Write in and let
us know how you get on!
