Les Paul Custom 1985 gets new hardware...

My new love is here! I got some 70s original Gibson tuners / a Faber true historic Nashville aged bridge / and some vintage style tinted knobs. It looks so damn sexy!
It sounds monstrous with the Gibson 500t! This is what it sounds like straight into my Mark 2C++

Black Customs just don’t look right without gold hardware

I agree 100%.

That is a badass guitar that looks amazing and it’s through one of the sickest amps on RT.

Just awesome

Looks great! Even better with no pick guard.

Metallica should have just used your gear for the new songs

The Gibson 500T pickups sound great. I was looking at buying some pickups from a small builder but I eventually came to love the stock ones.

Indeed an instant favorite for my LPC

Looks killer! I tend to like gold on black LPCs too and I usually don't like gold hardware.

And I think witchhats look great and speed knobs look shitty. Good choice there imo.

Oh yeah, did you know they make those 500Ts and others with gold screws/poles? I still have the 500T and 496R from my '08 Explorer with gold screws/poles. I might put the 500T back in.

As a matter of fact I'm looking to get some of the gold ones!

If you just find a gold 500T then you could get any number of winders to make you a neck pickup with gold screws/poles altho I guess not guaranteed to match exactly. I got Jalen to make me a custom set for that Explorer with gold screws/poles that I really love but that 500T was pretty mean.

And now with the neck pickup covered / bridge open!
