Nice playing!

I see you also put a ground wire from your bridge to a pot on the outside rather than drilling a hole. I did that to mine too. But gave in and finally drilled the guitar last year. :)

why is this done?

String ground wire?

Most guitars—I should say most Les Pauls—have a string ground. It's a wire that connects a bridge or tailpiece stud to one of the pot casings (ground). Usually through a hole that is drilled inside the guitar. It is done to eliminate hum/noise by grounding the player through the guitar and through the amp when the player touches the strings. The human body is a big source of noise/rf/hum. Most LPs come with this wire stock. But many in the late 70s and early 80's didn't for some reason.
 
Sounds great! I use a VH4 with a Roadster, love the combination!

By the way, what mics did you use?
 
Great job as always man. God forbid anything happen to AJ, but it's nice to know someone out there could fill in.

Let's not go overboard here. It's one thing to play a cover, it's another to write it.
