Out of the ordinary buy for me

So my bands in the process of writing songs for a new album. I have been heavily involved with the writing but it's been driving me nuts writing bass lines and waiting until we get to rehearsal to be able to get my guitar ideas to come alive. So for the first time in 20 years I bought a guitar so I can write more parts and have everything ready and save some time. Picked up a Epiphone Les Paul Jr off the local gear swap and I'm actually really impressed with the sounds out of it and the quality is good too. Anyways the tinkerer in me has already come out and I have been pondering the thought of doing kind of a local H kind of mod. Routing in a bass pickup under the low E and A and a cavity under the pick guard for a volume pot and 2nd jack. We'll see how it goes I guess and I'll post pic's as I go haha.
