Very Helpful

Similar to the Fender wiring DVD, not very 'exciting', but VERY useful and informative. I kinda wanted to see other Gibson variants, the V, the Explorer, Varitone, etc. Still...very nice video.

Good Video

Good video - but I wish it had gone into much more detail about wiring vintage instruments from the beginning. Regardless, good tool for someone just learning how to wire up a Les Paul.

Lots of great tips

This is a great DVD if you are unfamiliar with Gibson/PRS/etc. electronics. Really great tips, and the section on loading and unloading an archtop guitar is worth the price of the DVD.
