Who knows what Orpheo lurks in the hearts of men.

Don't bother with Grovers, get Schallers. Grovers made great machine heads in the '70s but the new ones are not of the quality they built their name on. I know, i have '70s ones (still great after all these years) and new ones (very average, barely acceptable). Schallers were great back then and are still great tuners now.

I agree!

[Aceman]

and I thought we might get Iceman'd on the pics! HA!!!


definitely nickel. I'm indifferent as tyo the Grovers or Schallers. Whole Lotta Humbucker is an excellent choice! Might as well go all the way and do Page switching too.

awesome looking guitar, by the way! Congrats!!!!

Why is this in THE SOUND ROOM?!!!

Don't worry about Grovers OR Schallers until you get it back with that new nut. Also try something like Big Bends nut sauce on the slots. Odds are, the problem doesn't/didn't lie with the tuners, but the nut slots.

Leave it alone, gold would look like ass on that.

[Boffy61]

WLH's now fitted...on the way home to warm them up. Tried them in the store and sounded stunning

[Boffy61]

WOW £1800 for a les Paul standard or £450 for the Burny with WLH's........no contest. Don't care where this was made...build quality is outstanding.

Total deal. Guitar £500 includind new had fitted bonne nut, WLH's £200, new Grover 18:1's, both PUP's coil split and out of phase with push pull £160.


This is A KEEPER

That guitar looks cool, glad you're enjoying it.

That shop has some nice looking Corts too. Did you try any of those at all?

[formula73]

I had one of those. Great guitar! I was lucky that mine had already had the pups swapped (59b/Jazzn) so I don't really know what the stockers sound like. I wasn't a fan of the 59b. I tried a USA L500L (not XL). It was a bad choice. That's all I can offer lol.

Oh-and it didn't stay in tune that well because of the cheap nut with poorly cut slots, not the tuners. They're perfectly functional.

My old one: zebras look great.

Nice looking guitar, man. All you have to do now is take off that ****ing scratchplate.

Agreed. It's a shame to hide such a pretty top under a piece of flesh-colored plastic. LPCs and plaintops need guards, imho. Pretty flames like that don't!

[Boffy61]

Well been playing with my new muse.......outstanding, outstanding guitar. Plays better than a lot of Les Paul's I've played...not all but a lot. The Whole Lotta Humbuckers are JUST STELLA..I'll try and get some audio posted over the weeken.

Had the new bone nut fitted as I said...seemed like a sensible thing to do.

Flat I had the EMAP and phase push/pull pots and wiring done.....now just going to enjoy
