Guys-

no doubt you've already seen this really intriguing clip from Glen Kuykendall- if not, then it's a textbook lesson in getting the best from the Expression 'wreck circuit - what's really interesting is how he describes the difference in the wiring in his original 50's LP to modern methods- I opened up my CS '58 Les Paul & sure enough it was wired up the modern way! It's a simple job to correct this and makes the guitar much less prone to mudding out when the volume is reduced- the tone control also now works subtly as a mid cut- check it out - there's plenty of schematics on the net- I've since done it to all my guitars including my Strats- really works for me!

Kitarist,

Please explain "old school" speaker wiring. I'm partial to series, but not sure what you mean.

ThankQ

I've had both 50's style and Modern Style with treble bleed caps, and dependent and independent volumes on both my 76 custom LP (which i no longer have) and my new epi lp standard (with Bareknuckle emerald pickups) all have their strengths and weaknesses. So far, I like Modern Wiring with treble bleeds and dependent volumes the best on both LP's. I'm installing the LP toneshaper this week, so i can readily do some a/b tests pretty quickly back to back so i can see if it just my ears playing tricks and hearing what i want to hear or not

@72 SG I'm thinking that what Kitartist is talking about is parallel, as most older amps (and newer amps) had (and have) parallel speaker outs, so when wiring a cab it should sound "better" in parallel. I am partial to parallel speaker wiring myself, but it's all subjective anyway, right?
