Epiphone Les Paul Custom Shop Build | Seymour Duncan Pickups & Bloodstone Wiring

🎸 FROM EMPTY SHELL TO ROCK MACHINE! 🔥 Welcome back to The Walsall Music Den! This time on the workbench, we’ve got an Epiphone Les Paul Custom Shop that’s arrived as a completely empty shell. No pickups, no wiring, no pots — nothing! Just a Les Paul waiting to be brought to life. The mission? Install a Seymour Duncan pickup set and a Bloodstone wiring harness, put everything together properly, and find out what this guitar can really do! 🔧 WHAT’S IN THIS VIDEO? ✅ Taking a look at the empty Les Paul and planning the installation. ✅ Installing the Bloodstone wiring harness and controls. ✅ Fitting the Seymour Duncan pickups. ✅ Demonstrating the techniques and considerations involved in guitar electronics installation. ✅ Bringing everything together and getting the guitar ready to play. 🎶 THE MOMENT OF TRUTH! Once the installation is complete, it’s time to plug in and hear the results. What sort of tones have we created, and will this combination of pickups and electronics deliver the goods? But this isn’t just about watching me work — I want YOU to get involved! 💬 LET’S TALK GUITARS! I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments: 🎸 Who is your favourite Les Paul player of all time? Jimmy Page, Slash, Peter Green, Gary Moore, Randy Rhoads, or somebody completely different? 🎸 What pickups are you running in your Les Paul, and why did you choose them? 🎸 Have you ever upgraded your guitar’s wiring harness or pots? Was it worth the investment? 🎸 What’s your favourite Les Paul pickup combination for rock, blues or heavier music? Drop your answers in the comments below. Let’s get a proper discussion going!
