    I hate to say this, but they're not even legit epiphone pickups, those things come in most of the counterfeit guitars that come from the chinese fake factories. The epiphone factory had nothing to do with it, they can at least make a convincing copy.

    Oh well, its a modding platform now. I hope you can get the dead frets sorted.

    I think the main thing is we know that it isn't a legit Gibson, and yes, I was going to use it as a mods platform anyway, I'm mostly going to be replacing all that needs replacing, the bridge, tuners, and nut (will be buying a couple of permanently lubricated Graphtech Tusq nuts from Stewmac), might also buy whatever tools I need to do the fret-levelling work on it, always wanted to get into a bit of diy guitar repairing anyway.


    I definitely like the idea of replacing the stock pickups with a couple of those Entwistles, might be the start of an interesting forum thread.
