I got a Vintage LP Special for £45 dropped at the door. Was going to sell it on, but it sustained well and felt good, so I decided to play with it.

I ordered some Old Dogs from Craig Vineham:

Single volume control, Gretsch-style 'mud' switch instead of the 4 controls. Was going to add an onboard preamp but following a useful circuit thread by GuyBoden it got changed and is going to be in pedal form instead.

It turned out to be a bit of a Friday afternoon one so some fettling was needed. Fret-levelling first, then sorting out some on-the-piss'ness:
