IT’S TIME TO IMPROVE YOUR LES PAUL GIBSON

 

Guitarists always look for something that can help them get a little more from their instrument. They modify and upgrade the instruments because they expect better quality of music. For Gibson Les Paul guitars there are a lot of mods and upgrades available to do so. So, here are a few things that you can do to upgrade your guitar or improve your Les Paul and get a few locking bridges or tailpieces.

Upgrades:

When it comes to upgrades many guitarists are mistaken by a belief that modifying the guitar aspects can help them sell their guitar at a high price.. When you add a new hardware to your guitar, it doesn’t mean you can increase the value of your instrument. Mostly, buyers would like the guitar in its original form. So, original guitar parts matter when you want to sell your Les Paul guitar.

Should you go for Nashville or ABR-1?

ABR-1 Bridge has an old design and the mass area is also less. In this small area of contact with the body of guitar, Faber design works exceptionally well. It becomes more stable. There are many kinds of alternatives that you can think of. For example, Callaham locking studs is the one for Les Paul’s tailpieces and it will keep the tailpiece in the right place. When you plan to change the strings the lock studs can help in keeping the tailpiece intact.

On your custom Gibson Les Paul guitars you can make use of the Nashville bridge as well. This really depends on your choice.

Metric or Imperial?

When you are thinking of purchasing the locking parts, you need to know that the Gibson guitars built in the US use Imperial measurements and for imported guitars like Epiphone, metric parts are used.

Tailpiece:

When you are looking to upgrade the Les Paul’s tailpieces and bridges, then look for 50’s style aluminum tailpiece for the tonal upgrade. These tailpieces were used on Les Paul Guitars originally in the beginning. Now you can use these tailpieces from Faber or Pigtail. These are vintage pieces that are lighter than the modern day versions and a great upgrade to the SG or Les Paul guitar.

Skateboarding and Longboarding on and Around Campus

Even though alternative transportation is rampant on Whitman’s small campus, only a handful of Whitman students skateboard. Whether longboarding to class or skating for leisure, those who own boards on campus represent a small fraction of the student body. Whitman’s campus isn’t exactly ideal for the sport. For skateboarding you mainly just need an open, rarely frequented area with various obstacles and terrain. If there is a skatepark nearby, obviously that is a large draw, but for Whitman students, the nearest park is in College Place. On campus, skaters use the small area outside of Olin Hall or can be seen behind North Hall practicing tricks. As for longboarding, all one really needs is a hilly area that is hopefully nicely paved, ideally with not much traffic.  In Walla Walla, serious elevation change is something of a rarity, so most long boarders on campus mainly direct their hobby toward getting to class. However, there are students who do manage to find places off ca...
