I thought it would be a fun project to upgrade all the hardware and electronics in my circa 2000 Epiphone Les Paul Studio since that was not exactly a high water mark for Chinese imports. After I had ripped everything out, I realized it was not a fun project. Playing guitar is fun. Futzing with soldering irons and fiddly little wires is not fun. Fortunately, I had heard about Obsidian Wire, so I thought it give it a shot. Long story short, I'm back to playing my Les Paul, not futzing. Easy not instant was very accurate. Most of my install time was filing out bigger holes. Great product. Pots are great. Switch is firm. Jack holds nicely. Everything sounds great. If I'm ever stupid enough to undertake another project like this again, I'll definitely come straight here first.
