UPLOADED
Bought new in 2018 from Raj Musicals, Delhi. This has been my main guitar for live shows, studio recordings, and daily practice ever since. Stock CR100 hardware; in addition to recent fresh full electronics overhaul + guitar setup with D’Addario EXL120 9s.
WIRING CIRCUIT MODS:
All visible components are existing stock parts; only change is a fresh output jack + new fresh electronic modifications inside.
- Double-layer aluminium foil Faraday shielding in all cavities + foil-wrapped output jack run (grounded cavity end only); is dead quiet on stage even in front of lights. Newly put in fresh output jack.
- Kinman series treble bleed on both volumes (1nF + 300k total); high-end character stays intact as you roll down, no muddy taper loss which is present in stock.
- Full 50s vintage Les Paul wiring (tone caps moved to volume lug 2) – Bridge 22nF, neck 15nF upgraded polyester film caps. Volume and tone now interact musically instead of fighting with each other.
- Out-of-phase middle position (neck hot/ground swapped at vol input); for glassy hollow nasal Peter Green / early Santana quack in the middle switch. Bridge and neck positions stay normal phase. This modified middle position is a killer for Polyphia cleans, spacey metal leads, or just cutting through a mix.
- All others parts are original (500k Cort liner/log pots, 3-way switch, humbuckers, etc). Ground bus and continuity fully verified via multimeter. Twisted-pair bundles inside cavity for extra noise rejection.
This circuit is noticeably more even and responsive than stock. The guitar has featured in ~90% of the reels on my Instagram music page "raagaception" over the years; you may check it out for real-world tone and playing footage.
CONDITION:
Fairly used but maintained as well as possible. No major dings, frets still good, electronics silent and functional. Fresh setup. Does **not** come with strap or original gig bag.
ACCESSORIES (optional):
- Gator GL-ELECTRIC Polyfoam hard case (as seen in pic): Rs 4,500 extra (I paid Rs 8,740 in 2022 to order it from Bajaao; invoice available).
- Wide leather strap tossed in free with the case.
REASON FOR SELLING:
Wish to switch to and focus on bass after 8 years of playing guitar. Can't be a true Djentleman on a 6 string Les Paul, can I?
PRICE:
Rs 16,000 (new equivalent now Rs 22,900 to Rs 24,900 on Bajaao/Amazon/Furtados/Raj Musicals).
LOCATION/DELIVERY:
Viman Nagar, Pune. Come over, plug in, test every position and control, verify the wiring yourself. Buy only if it feels right. Local delivery possible. Pan-India shipping via Bajaao used-gear service.
DM for more photos, close-up wiring shots, or video of the mods in action. Serious buyers only please; this is a gig-ready instrument that deserves regular use.
