Pour les spécialistes : a partir de quelle année de fabrication le 50's wiring et la modif du gabarit des manches sont apparus ?
2009 sur les R9, pas systématique sur les autres modèles.
Voici la liste des changements apportés en 2009 sur la R9 (liste tout de même assez impressionnante sachant que les pré-2009 étaient supposées être historiquement "correctes"):
"
Nylon 6/6 nut
Improved ABR-1 bridge (no-wire, tighter tolerances)
Historically correct nickel-plated brass bridge saddles
Correct alloy saddle adjustment screws
Bridge height adjusting thumbwheels now steel, rather than brass and are thinner
Neck profile changed - now has less "shoulders"
Audio taper CTS pots
50's wiring
Pickup routes adjusted so that pickups will be parallel to the strings
Top carve changed to be closer to several original '59s that were scanned
Body perimeter change - slightly tighter in waist, cutaway area refined to be more like originals
The maple cap is very slightly thinner, the mahogany body is very slightly thicker
The fingerboard is slightly thinner
The step from neck heel to back of body is taller and more correct
The taper of the "maple window" under the binding in cutaway is more accurate
The maple spline (filler strip) in the tenon is more accurate
The edge radius on the backside of the body is tighter (less rounded)
The "mustache curve" of the headstock top has been flattened slightly
The control cavity plate has been relocated, has the correct side taper, and now uses the correct ABS plastic
The pickguard shape has changed slightly
The pickguard bracket and screw have been changed
The truss rod cover has been reshaped to be more accurate
The serial number location is slightly lower and more correct
Dial pointers are less sharp
The strap button screws are longer
The jack hole is now the correct 1" diameter
The toggle switch nut has more correct knurled pattern"
Je ne sais pas si toutes ces modifs sont appliquées sur les autres R*, en tout cas sur ma R5 de 2010 je suis certains d'avoir au moins celles-ci:
"
Nylon 6/6 nut
Audio taper CTS pots
50's wiring
Pickup routes adjusted so that pickups will be parallel to the strings "
Une des modifs les plus majeures semble être le gabarit des manches, puisque les "vraies" Les Paul de 58 ou 59 n'ont apparemment jamais eu des manches aussi gros que les Historic pre-2009.
