Hopefully not cork sniffing, but have a 2004 LP Standard with the 50s neck, nicely cracking paint, looks nice and aged, feels so nice to play. Since the Historics and newer R9s here in Australia are really pricey (can buy 3 other LPs for one 59) so thought I would spend a couple of bucks by replacing pickup rings, truss rod cover, knobs, switch plate and tip to look more 59ish, I put the adr1 style in place of the Nashville, and got rid of the BB Pros and crappy wiring it had and replaced with complete wiring from new standard 50s with Burstbuckers, made huge improvement. Would I benefit from Custombuckers or just get better wiring for Burstbuckers and maybe A3 magnet swap? I moslty like to play harder rocking blues, newer sounding ZZ Top, Joe Bonamassa, etc. Thanks
