I really like the way this neck pickup sounds. It really reminds me of SRV's neck pickup tone. I believe the website for these pickups say it's around 8k - 8.5k, and the Gibson P94 is a bit hotter at 9k. So far going off of Youtube videos of the Gibson P94, it doesn't seem like it sounds like the Diliberto P94.

I have an Epiphone Phant-O-Matic that I'd like to put a Lace Sensor Emerald in the neck. The thing is that the Emerald is going to be Strat sized, so the pole pieces won't line up with the strings, unless I use a slanted adapter ring. How much of a difference will it make if I use a slanted adapter ring? Also, what if I choose to leave it straight and not lined up, will there be any issues?

If you can spin it with full string tension with your fingers then yes..... But if the screwdriver blade slips off there's a good chance you could put a nice gouge in the finish.
I loosen the strings and use my fingers
What if I can't spin it with my fingers until full string tension, but it spins with a screwdriver? Is that ok?

I have an Epiphone dot that has a tune-o-matic bridge. The thumbwheel has a slot for a flathead screwdriver, which I've been using to lower and raise the bridge with full string tension. Is this fine, or should I loosen the strings first? The Epiphone manual mentions nothing about loosening the strings.
Is it legal to sell factory second Epiphones? Filed off serial numbers?

I recently bought an Epiphone off of someone on Facebook Marketplace. I didn't notice the USED stamp on top of the headstock and the last three serial numbers filed off until I got home. The guitar itself has a lot of cosmetic issues, but overall it is okay. I did some research online and it looks like it was a factory second that was sold through pawn shops.
I am considering selling it, but I am not sure if I'm allowed to since the last three serial numbers are scratched off. Will stores refuse to take it?
