Hi Burr,
Yes sir, rock from the Islands!!
We play a mostly funk instrumental blend.
Thanks for the pointers, very generous of you.
I've tried on different amps/cables and get the same results
I will try and draw a schematic of how it is wired when I get some time, it will help me double check it.
The jungle of cables in the pit can be confusing.

"Funk instumental"
In the 70's i was huge on billy cobham, tony williams, return to forever stuff..... close! Has to be rock now. Cant remember more than 3 chords! :o
Drawing out the wire pile will help for sure. My brother recently replaced and rewired a michael kelly semi hollow and needed a second pair of eyes rewiring. Took us a good 2 hours to stare at it and follow!
Anyway, low B all the way brother!!!

I'm in the right place to make this question :)
In the early 80's i have bought a second hand Gibson Les Paul De luxe,then sold when stopped to play
It was a Gibson:very comfortable to play,low action and so on,but had a little different shape of the body
The "horn" was very rounded,not as the classic Les Paul shape.I highligth in the picture the part
It was a Gibson?They produced something like that in the past?
Now,at 56 years i restarted to learn guitar :)

Hi Burr,
""""billy cobham, tony williams, return to forever stuff"""
I listened to them a lot !
Jeff beck's "Wired" is in my favorites of those years.
I recently discovered "Man-Child" by Herbie Hancock, good!

Hi Mauro,
I don't know guitars that much.
Maybe Burr, Neil or someone else would know.

Start with serial numbers:

Then move to the craftsmanship:

You'll find even gibson can struggle with identity, but passing these first 2 tests is a big plus!

Great project. Question: 1 pickup but 3 pots? Why?
From: Marc (TELLIER)
Hi Sebastian,
It's 3 stacked pots for a filter type pre amp, a bit like Alembic or Wal basses.
There should be a 4th one for passive tone but I didn't install it.
1 : Volume / Blend (dont use blend since it's a single pickup)
2 : Low pass filter / Amount
3 : High pass filter / Amount
