Why customzie a les paul? Because I intend on playing it! Of course I DID sell mine eventually (and it went for more than it originaly would have, with my custom work)

New pickups (Dimarzio breed and paf pro), sperzel tuners, and replaces the fixed bridge in it with a similiar looking piezo bridge.

Still played the same, had better functionality, and sound and of course with the piezo pickup (which I also routed an additional output for), I get a whole new set of tones to play around with.
