- In this walk-through, I modify a Gibson Les Paul guitar from its original state. When I got the guitar it had the Roto Matic Tuners and regular wrap tail piece with a '61 zebra coil PAF style humbucking pickup. I installed a new Graphtech ResoMax tailpiece and Ratio Tuners.
There is a lot of stuff I would have edited out in the video if I had more time, but I just wanted to throw this together and show you all how I went about doing this.
You will hear this guitar plugged in in future videos so subscribe if you want to hear it!

Thanks for watching! I will link a playing video with the new set up here when I get it recorded
Steve how is it that I keep having projects come up & I start looking things up & your videos turn up? Haha! Awesome stuff! 🤘
@@RokDAWG1 I've done a lot of tinkering! Lol
@SteveSterlacci I picked up one of those Epiphone Les Paul Special guitars with the wrap around bridge. I decided to put load Fender Telecaster pickups on it. I haven't decided what kind of wrap around bridge I want yet.
I just bartered for one. Trading a RAW Gibson SG maple fretboard for a 2016CM. Already has a Bare knuckle p/u installed and no robots. I'll be getting in a week or so... Looking forward to playing it.
Only other LP I owned was about 30years ago... Gold top... Should've kept it. Oh well.
Nice! Woulda been cool to still have that
That's actually a pretty cool looking Gibby. Hope you do a follow up with an amp or better, live performance.
I expect both soon ! Really excited with how this came out. Thank you for watching!
You have to "unlock" the robo tuners. If they make a noise when turning them, youre brekaing them
Thanks for sharing this, I'm really interested in the Graph-tech Wrap around bridge, thinking about installing one on my Ibanez Artist, you ROCK BROTHER!!!
Another way to test your pickup without stringing it up. lightly tap it with a small screwdriver, or even holding your phone speakers near the pickup with music playing.
I agree! I probably have that stuck in my head from checking phase with 2 pickups
Magnets aren't good for electronic devices.
@@jerbear1601 not strong enough or close enough to mess with the phone speakers. It’s an old trick, now. Haven’t heard of anything happening yet…
Thanks for the review!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks
I like the P90 swap
Why not do an amplified AB
Oh I see , you said you’ll link an amplified video
Ok
So, are the factory tuners hole size larger than for original vintage style Kluson's? Is that why you have the spacer plates?
Or will vintage Kluson tuners fit snug and correct without plates, etc?
Ah cool. Looking at one of these AND I am a lover of the Mean 90's. Still have it and play it? Best Regards and Best Wishes!
Still use it as it is in the vid! Love it. Thanks for checking this one out
Perfect video!
Thanks for watching!
Good video. What is your opinion of the Graphtech Resomax? I have an LP Special with p90s and stock bridge, which I don't like. I'm planning on getting either the graphtech or a similar bridge from StewMac.
I love it! They make excellent products
Good choice!
Thanks ! Love how this one came out
Hi, you do the mounting of the new mechanics without even cleaning the dust on the head ???
That was the rough fit 🤣😅 not the final
Nice!
Thanks Jerry!
can this fit on my prs se custom 22?
They have great customer service if you email with your guitar. It may be listed on their site what will fit best too
Hi there. Would you know what the neck profile of lp cm is?
50s ! Nice and chunky
You should have cleaned off the headstock before putting the new tuners in.
Can i have your robo tuners
I think theyre gone already
All that and you didnt plug it in
Fair point
Yeah the robot tuner system is trash 🗑️ don't get me wrong amazing idea ... executed poorly
Agreed
nah, they're still trash.
thank you for adding this insightful comment
@@SteveSterlacciyes really enlightened lol 😂😂😂😂
