The last of my five planned guitar build and modification projects is a bit of nonsense: the upgrade of a Westfield Mini Gibson Les Paul guitar I bought from U.K. eBay in January 2014. It sat unloved in its gig bag in my attic for around seven years and deserved to be improved to the best possible specification.

Amongst other minor cosmetic upgrades to gold hardware, the modified specification includes:

  • Tonerider AC2 Alnico II PAF humbucker pickup AC2B-GD
  • Gibson OEM strap buttons (brass)
  • Gotoh Nashville GE103B-T Tune-o-Matic bridge with large posts
  • Gibson style speed knobs (gold)
  • Bourns PDB181-GTR01-504 potentiometers
  • Optima Gold 2028M string set (0.011, 0.014, 0.018, 0.030, 0.038, 0.050)
