Yep... i got it... I'm finally ready with sanding my neck and headstock (damn, that headstock took me as long as the whole neck! ) pictures: http://users.pandora.be/samdegh/CUSTOM/pics/

Yeah... I Thought of something like that... because with my P150 it's taking HOURS for sanding the head... guess i'll wait and go to the store tomorrow after a few different sorts of sandpaper... thx

Thanx a lot for all the replies... Yeah, the wiring is exactly the same in my les paul 100... And yes i'm planning to put 2 EMG's in it (emg 60 & 81) well, i just checked their site and it doesn't seems so hard to install them, compared to my pickups now, which are one bunch of wires... And is it possible to buy and EMG pickup without an input, because otherwise i will have 2 input's... well, not that i have to worry about it now, i have to start sanding my guitar first, but if i know it now, i dont have to waste time later on by finding that out... Oh yeah, and one final question (for now ) i started sanding my neck today, and i only have one sort of sanding paper (P150) it works fine, but i saw from most other people who did the same as me that they used different sorts of sanding paper? Anyway, thanx for the replies, you guys already helped me out a lot!

yeah those grounds indeed... i dont have any clue what they are.. but i'll find it out for sure... (you see, i dont have a clue what's the translation, and because i'm not an electrician or something i dont have clue what it is )

Wow... thx! that's a real simple one, even i understand it, except for those arrows... but hey, i have enough time to find out what it means thx!

Well... i checked the volume pots, and they work fine now, they're out entirelly, so i can use them again... Anyhow, is there anyone who has a wiring schedule or something of an les paul? Or is a wiring schedule included when i buy new pickups? (i heard there is a wiring schedule included, so if i find someone who can read and understand that, he can make the thing work just like normal (that won't be difficult, my neighbour is an eletrician and he loves music... ) Also i found a few wires which were not attached to a second place and a black wire which leads to nowhere (it goes in the guitarbody, and i can't place it, it's nog loose or something, and everywhere i look i can't find a black wire coming out... anyone has any idea what that might be?) But, like i said, a wiring schedule would help me a lot, but i just can't find anny...

here? can you see them here? there are two pics, the guitar and a pic of the pic i posted here with two lines on them... Anyway, i already screwed out the pickups, and its not made of plywood i guess... there is a wood texture visible at top (as you can see on that first picture... its a real shitty burst with in the middle a wood texture) and if i look in the hole's where the pickups are in i see that the wood is in one piece... And another question... for all the hardware, can i just cut the cable's... i'm planning to buy everything new, there are going two EMG pickups in there (EMG 81 & 60) and my volumeknobs (or how you describe it, i dont know the word ) just keep turning, so i'm going to replace them to... also the input, etc. I Just need to know how i need to solder it back that it works... any schedules from a les paul?

Nobody? I Assume this is an easy question?

Hi All, I'm Sam, 17 years old and i live in belgium... and just like all of you guys over here i have one big passion: guitars... Now, that's enough for my introduction, I Have an Epiphone Les Paul 100 that i have for a year now or so, but i bought it second hand and it sucks like hell... there are pieces out of the body, ... Anyway, i'm planing to repair the guitar, and while i'm busy, why not give it a new "touch"... i'm planning to sand it down and keep the "wood" colour... Hereby i'm starting with the neck which i'm going to sand down and then make it black... But before i start with sanding the neck i have a question do i have to sand untill the green or blue line? I'm not going to touch my frets and the fretboard and inlay's, etc. I'm going to keep that... so i just want to sand the whole neck and then tape off the fretboard and paint it like that... So... could anyone help me find that answer (yeah, it's probably a stupid question, but hey... it's my first time i'm doing it...) Ohyeah, forgive me for my bad english, i'm from belgium like i said
