    Thinnest finishes were applied in the Norlin era. Most of them were thinner than in the 50s and also thinner than today. It was a cost saving practice. Thickest I've seen are those of the 2010's, even on historics. Just check how ridiculously thick looks the finish on those "ultra aged"...

    I love how Grovers look but I discard them because they turn a fall instantly into a headstock break. Klusons absorb the shock much better. You can also try adding a capo in the headstock, and sure the dead spots disappear if you lean in it agaist the wall, but that's not practical. A brass...

    By the way, before going this far, did you tried first just swaping the tuners for heavier ones, like Grovers? The most effective thing you can do to solve resonance problems is to add/remove mass, and I'm not sure if the changes applied in this makeover will affect much in that regard. You...

    You are safe. Vintage Les pauls had the truss rod cavity sprayed black: It wasn't till later that they covered it:

    Allan Holdsworth’s “62 Ebony Block “Velvet Darkness” SG Les Paul Custom.

    The work they did on the neck binding could not be more neglected

    9s or 10s on your Les Paul?

    Genuine 1992 Zemaitis Metal Front

    With than thin waist, these Zemaitis have to be pretty unfortable to play sitting down, right? Staying too low I guess

    The Official Measured Neck Thickness Appreciation Thread !!

    1992 standard with '59 rounded profile: 0,85" at the 1st and 0,98" at the 12th. Perfect allround neck with no shoulders

    Mark Agnesi gets past "Play Authentic"

    Never understood all the bashing for just defending heritage and intelectual property. Always sounded like inmature teenegers who don't understand the effort, the risk and the merit behind the creation of an idea and a company.

    TOM position on vintage Les Pauls varies, but for the most part they are not completely parallel, but have some inclination Are you sure that he will move the tailpiece and not the bridge posts instead? Moving the tailpiece to place it parallel to your TOM would be crazy and wrong.
