I'm about to buy some WCR Goodwood/Godwood pickups this week, they look awesome. Any recommendations for upgrading caps and pots? Or if they are even needed? I'd rather not buy one of those prewired harnesses from RS. I dont think im going to go with coil tapping or out of phase at this time, money is gonna be kinda short after this. I could also use a new or modified nut, some of the stock LP ones are pretty bad. Thanks

I had a tech install a graphite nut, and graphite bridge saddles in my LP and they've shown me nuttin' but love since then.  Great tuning stability also!

Great advice! I should do that too, but I came in to say that when I bought WCR Fillmores direct back in 2009 they came with a complete wiring harness. Maybe your p/us will to?
