www.planetz.com . In this video, I demonstrate the results of my Epiphone Riviera P93 electronics overhaul. I first play the original Epi setup, then swap in my new electronics, and then replace the pickups with a matched set of new Vintage Vibe Guitars P-90s. The recordings are made with a Rode NT1 large diaphragm mic, placed 4 inches away from and slightly below center of the speaker grill of my Vox VT30 amp. The new electronics include CTS 500k audio taper pots, no-load mod on the tone pot, an Orange Drop .01uF tone cap, all new shielded wire, and a new Switchraft L12A jack. So, if youre wondering what it might sound like if you change out your pots and caps in your guitar, this should be a good example. I was very careful to record the three different combinations all on the same day, with precisely the same setup (same strings, same amp settings, same mic and mic placement). I made every effort to play the same riffs with the pick in the same position over the strings, playing with the same strength. (Alas my skills are not quite exact enough, but I did my best). See my blog for more details.
