Tom,
I got the upgrade kit from RS Guitarworks for my Les Paul. I just used the directions that came with their kit. Any specific questions?

i think im going to go with this one, mainly for the points brought up in the article

You like the mixer setup? where you can have one pickup off and still play the guitar with the toggle in the center position? I like my guitars where the hot wire and the wire going to the toggle are swapped as opposed to the one that you have there.
