For his birthday this year, Adam bought himself a Gibson Les Paul guitar--one of his favorite guitar designs that he's love admired. This chinese variant of the Tokai Gibson model is ripe for upgrading, so Adam commences swapping out all of its wiring system, from pickups to pots. Rewiring ends up being a complicated process, but Adam rewards his persistance with an aesthetic upgrade: adding an engine turn finish to two panels on the back of the guitar!
