I love my Les Paul - now. But in order to get to love, I had to do the following:

1) Fret Job
2) Install Tonepros Bridge
3) Install Tonepros Tailpiece
4) Major setup work
5) Installed RS Guitarworks pots/caps replacement kit
6) Installed Zhangbucker Pure Handwound humbuckers

Basically, a complete overhaul - certainly electronically. Now, it gets wonderful Les Paul tones and useful tone/vol controls. Luckily, I bought mine used so I didn't pay full price but I still put more money into this thing then I should have. But at least now I have one smoking LP that I'll never get rid of...
