I did my chibson with gfs alnico 2’s and the premium solderless wiring harness and it sounds great. Did my 70’s Electra lp with the gfs veh pups with the same harness and the alnico 2s sound better to me. Both sound pretty good though. And it’s really easy to install. Good luck to ya.
I recently ordered a Less Paul and a Johnny A replica. The Les Paul is okay, and with electronics upgrades could be a good guitar. I am really disappointed in the hollow body. Really sloppy glue mess, poor fret install, bigsby-style tremolo will break the top if used much. But the Les Paul I am pretty happy with. I probably will not order another, though. After good electronics upgrades I will have spent $500 +/-. There are many very good used guitars available in the $500 range.
