I bought a 2010 Les Paul Traditional, Goldtop. I'm in the process of changing the Kluson's to locking Grover's and filling the unused screw holes on the back of the headstock. I'm also swapping out the electronics, ie., caps., 300k pots to 500k,+/- 9%, audio taper pots, etc. No idea why they use 300k volume pots on Humbucker's.
I noticed however, that the ground wire going from one of the pots to the bridge post is missing. Luckily, the hole is there. Problem is, I can't pull the bushing without damaging the finish/paint so I can get the wire under it. I was thinking of getting some mildly rigid wire and coiling it like a spring, then solder the other end to the pot so the coiled end always pushes on the bushing. Any other ideas?
Not impressed with Gibson's finish work, shoddy interior routing, shoddy finish work near the edge of the access holes and a missing ground wire, rough fret board. You would think with what they cost, they would pay a little more attention to detail. Any one else experience anything like this, in particular the missing ground wire? It's in my 87 LPC.
