Hi everyone ....
I joined the forum last year, and just thought I'd post an image of my pride and joy. Since I bought this Les Paul Studio from Thomann of Germany last year, I have converted it using the Jimmy Page 21 Tone modification. I used the normal 4 push-pull switches, and also installed a set of Seymour Duncan "Whole Lotta Humbucker" (SH2 & SH4) pick-ups and a Wilkinson roller bridge. I polished it off with a set of 0.09-0.42mm Ernie Ball strings ...... it sounds fantastic!!!

Not normally a fan of gold, but man it looks sweeeet on that ax! That is truly a beautiful guitar. Did you wire your own 21 tone mod, or buy one of the harnesses from Jonesey? Which settings do you find most useful? I have split coils and have toyed with the idea of adding some additional options, but I don't know if I'd use all 21. The possibilities are mind blowing.

Hi .... and thanks!!
I wired my own. I found a site called Breja ToneWorks (https://www.youtube.com/user/BrejaToneWorks), and followed his wiring scheme. Believe it or not, all the hardware in that image was silver, must have been a trick of the light? I have since changed the P/U's for Seymour Duncan "Whole Lotta Humbuckers" (SH2/SH4), and the bridge for a Wilkinson roller version. I obtained the push/pulls from Amazon.

I thought the sh2 jazz/sh4 JB was the Hotrodded set
The WLH set is SH 18
