It has been hand wired with correct vintage value (torque/taper) Nacho potentiometers with authentic bumble bee caps. The aged hardware parts include stop bar and aluminium Tune-o-matic bridge with brass/nickel plated aged thumbwheels/saddles and vintage style Kluson tuners.

1. Strip existing finish and re-carve maple top
2. Reshape headstock, neck profile, contours and shave back of body to correct vintage thickness

6. Change plastic parts to vintage correct CAB rings and ABS guard, jack plate, truss rod cover and poker chip
7. Nitro refinishing and curing/aging using our own proprietary formulas. do.
Comes with the original Gibson hardshell case and all the case candy...INCLUDING two of Nacho's proprietary Tone Shims:
The Tone Shim connects the string vibration of the ABR1 floating bridge to the maple top of your guitar. This little device is designed to
enhance the tonal properties of your Gibson Les Paul Nachoburst conversion. It comes in two versions: 1 piece pine (single block) and 2-
piece (pine to add treble frequencies on heavier strings and mahogany to add bass frequencies to treble strings). The top of the Tone Shim
has been radiused and machined at an angle so you can gradually press it under the bridge piece until it sits tight. You can press it in for
installing and press it out for removing. It will enhance the tonal response of your Nachoburst, increasing the overall volume, broadening
the tonal scope and providing a sweeter, woodier quality to the classic sound of the NAFs humbucker pickups.
Adjust the ABR1 action. Press it under the bridge. Strum a chord and… feel the difference!
