If you like the guitar I would HIGHLY suggest doing the following. I’m the guy who also had a broken bridge pickup.

Thanks a lot and sorry about the newbie questions! Other than some minor flaws in the binding and finish, and some parts feeling generally cheap (and control knobs that all face different directions vertically), I would prefer to keep this guitar as it fills a niche that not many others do. I do think this is a very unique and beautiful guitar and while it definitely won't be my last semi-hollow/hollowbody, I prefer to fix it and give it a good setup and adjustment instead of returning it unless I have to. I can also feel/hear something loose inside the body around the control knobs when I pick up the guitar, it seems to be shifting around whenever the guitar is moved. Secondly, the bridge pickup seems to have 'sunken' into the body, you can see it in the picture that the screws are inside the pickup instead of protruding through it.

I've mostly played solidbodies for the past 16 years so I'm completely new to this type of guitar.įirst of all, the guitar has a very strong and distinct buzz when you play it, this gets so strong when you fret the 3 bass strings around the 9th fret that it cuts through to the amplifier/mix where you can hear it too. While the guitar is a beauty, the neck plays decently enough and the P90s sound alright, I have some reservations about it and wanted to ask if a few issues that I noticed are things that are normal and fixable with a good setup and/or regular usage, or whether they warrant returning the guitar. First time poster here, I just received my new Epiphone Casino Coupe in Vintage Sunburst today. So Lollar are single conductor? I’m no expert so was wondering how to connect the stock white wire left from the old pickup to the new Lollar wire…screw in the pickup back in and start jamming.Hope you're all doing well. I read that Lollar pickups has an outside braided wire as its ground and no individual wire to solder? I’ve removed the white pick guard and had a look at the inside and the wire connecting to the stock pickups.įor speed I just want to cut the wire at the base of the stock pickups and bin them….and the wire that is there connect to the Lollar wire and get on with my life…I have no desire to upgrade the harness…I’m not using the guitar Live and it’s got limited resale value…I just want to record and get on with my life…:p One of the tuning heads was bent so I bought some Kluson Revolution Locking Tuners to replace the old ones.Īlso bought a Gotoh Bridge, new black toggle knob and some new Black Volume and tone knobs… I’ve bought an Epiphone Casino cheap and have decided to do some cheapish upgrades…
