'The Ultimate' Wiring for Les Paul® // 'JP' Mod
'The Ultimate' wiring for Les Paul® is a full featured and comprehensive wiring upgrade, designed to give you all of the best Les Paul sounds in one setup.
Based on the wiring used by Jimmy Page, but even more versatile.
The extra sounds are activated using three push / pull pots, so no extra mods are required to the body of your guitar.
- REQUIRES FOUR CONDUCTOR PICKUPS
FEATURES:
DUAL SC (COIL SPLIT) - Neck Volume
Turn your humbuckers in to single coils. Obsidian® Dual SC, allows you to split your humbuckers in to single-coils for lower output, more dynamic tones. This switch effects all three toggle switch positions.
// Controlled by Neck Volume Control
'SERIES' MODE SWITCHING - Neck Tone
Play your neck and bridge pickups in Series for a fuller output sound with a boosted midrange. 'Series' mode occurs in the middle and neck switch positions with both pickups active. Bridge position becomes muted with slight pickup bleed.
// Controlled by Neck Tone Control
PHASE SWITCHING - Bridge Tone
Play your neck and bridge pickups out of phase for those classic Les Paul sound made famous by Brian May and Jimmy Page. This switch predominantly effects the middle pickup position, with a slight change possible in the bridge position.
// Controlled by the Bridge Tone Control
MKII Mode Switching
'VINTAGE 50'S' MODE
Allow for some treble roll off when you roll back your volume control for an easy bridge between perfect warm cleans and searing leads.
The 'Vintage 50's' wiring mod is a super popular Les Paul wiring upgrade that reverts your stock LP wiring back to the glory days, and the beginning of the Vintage Les Paul. This is our most popular and personal favorite Les Paul wiring.
'60'S PLUS' MODE
Prevent treble loss when you roll back the volume for greater clarity and cut through at reduced volume levels.
The Obsidian® '60's Plus' wiring is made for clarity and cut through with an improved circuit that will help you retain treble at all volume levels.

Important Notes - Quirks of JP Wiring
The huge variety of switching options is achieved by slicing, dicing and re-arranging the pickup coils, which means that not all switch positions are hum cancelling. Please expect 60's cycle hum with some switching combos and settings.
You can also expect slight volume bleed through when the 'Series' switch is in the UP position, and both volume controls are turned all the way own.
With the 'Series' switch in the UP position, and toggle switch in the bridge / rhythm position, you will only get a slight pickup bleed through, rather than full output.
These quirks are required to get the huge functionality of the harness, and are not considered faults.
