Epiphone Broadway?

Not the same as the laurels known in the Americas and Europe.

My favorite is Lancashire Laurel.

Can someone recommend a pre-wired wiring harness upgrade for these?

Considering the position of the pickup switch I think an ES-175 wiring harness is your best option, I have not seen them specificly for the Broadway model.

I don’t do pre-wired harnesses, I solder them myself, but there are plenty of options which can get very pricey.

This one from Arty’s is still a bit reasonable, looks tidey and has options to choose from (50ies vs modern). I don’t care for bumblebee caps but they do look good ;-)

I adore my older MiK Epi Broadway which I got for about $800. I put the StewMac copy of the Gibson humbucker pickup on it and it plays and sounds great.

I still play mine every day. Haven’t found a better guitar.

I have better guitars, but the value/price ration on the Epi Broadway is awesome indeed. My L5 is better, but is it 50x better? Likely not, but it is enough better for me to be glad I have it. But the Epi reigns supreme in certain moments in my playing. They are also fun test-beds for trying out new pickups, pots, etc. I learned to do fret jobs on my Broadway, which might also be why it plays so well!
