    Epi les paul,No neck pickup!

    in Epiphone Electrics

    Posted

     

    To keep problems from happening in the future, keep the toggle in the middle position when the guitar's not plugged in. Sitting for years in the bridge PU position the toggle may suffer from metal fatigue and eventually make the neck PU connection not work (and vice versa).

     

     

    Interesting ..... I thought I was the only one that did this ...LOL I mean, it makes sense, my '07 w/ original switch works just fine so far...I'm a practical (cheap) bassturd ... if it ain't "broke", rarely will I "fix" it, unless it's something I can't live with. The stock Epi switch still works perfectly, doing what it's supposed to do every time. If/when it dies, sure, I'll upgrade. I ain't in no hurry ;)

    Dang !!!! Wouldn't mind pickin' one of these up......Mrs RSD might not even notice the lil extra size and extra knobs vs the VJ head [biggrin] The crappy reverb ain't an issue for me, the extra power would be nice. Decisions, decisions - I need (ok, want) another guitar more than I need/want another head....heh. Maybe I'll just bide my time and pick one up if/when the price eventually comes down (hopefully), or buy used. My lady already wants to know why I have to have 3 amps - simple, to me.... the 15w ss amp ain't all that (got my Epi LP Std +top, crappy ss Epi Studio 15R, strap, crappy tuner, crappy cord new from MF for $50 less than what they were charging for the same guitar standalone....LOL.... I basically only use it to run drum tracks through, headphone use, and occasional church use). The VJ combo (bought used on the 'Bay) is what it is, and the VJ head'n'cab (bought new for $149 needing only the fuse contacts scuffed) is what IT is. In the scheme of things, I haven't really spent all that much on gear. However, the F*nd*r Thinline Tele has been beckoning for some time, now....[confused]

    Serial Number on Epiphone Casino?

    in Epiphone Electrics

    Posted

    Hi Guys just found the forum and was hopeing someone with a knowledge of Epi's could help me identify a Casino with the serial number of ROOB 0348.

    I have read here where there are fake Epiphones being sold and after finally saving enough money to buy a second hand Epiphone Casino it did not occur to me that there are unauthorized copies out there!

    Hope someone can help.

    From the land of the long white cloud.

    Dunno if this is right or not' date=' but ..... if you plug your serial number into http://www.guitardaterproject.org/epiphone.aspx (I'm guessing those "O's" you listed are actually 0's, making it [b']r00b0348[/b]), which gives you this result :

     

    "Your guitar was made at the

    Peerless Plant, Korea

    February 2000

    Production Number: 0348"

     

    The original number you listed doesn't work, and I don't think epi ever used 4 letters in a serial number.....I could be wrong....hope this is of some help, right or wrong 8-[

    AJ18SNA

    in Epiphone Acoustics

    Posted

    Thanks for the info' date=' I put strings on it last night, and it sure does sound good. After re-stringing it, I am convinced that the Grover tuners ARE factory, but still not sure about the model number. Also, it doesn't have a neck adjustment rod. I don't know if a shop can straighten it out or not. The neck is barely bent, but is certainly playable. I wonder if a guy could put a slightly shorter body bridge on it to bring the strings down slightly?

     

    Dusty[/quote'] Are you certain it has no truss rod ??? Is there a truss rod cover ? I have an AJ18SNA.....has gold Gotoh tuners, has inlays that sound like yours, has a trc (am assuming there's a rod in there - have not yet needed neck adjustment - I'll check one of these days). The model number and serial number are typically on a sticker inside the guitar body....if you have no sticker, then it's a guessing game, unless you can find some to compare it to. I find mine to be a pretty darned decent acoustic, fits my needs, anyway. I hear ya on the action ...... mine's kind of high, but since I don't have my LP's action super low, switching from the AJ to the Les Paul isn't as drastic a change as it could be. Still might lower the LP a bit , though...and get some lighter strings for the AJ - I like to be able to bend 'em, and the strings I have now are pretty heavy....

    Truss Rod wrench for Epiphone Les Paul

    in Epiphone Electrics

    Posted

    hi' date=' i need to make a truss rod adjustment on my les paul and was wondering what size wrench i need?

     

    i went to [b']my guitar store[/b] and they said they're hard to find and that they didn't have any or know what size!!!

     

    can anyone help? thx!

    Ummmmmm, I'd drop that guitar store.......I don't have my guit tools in front of me, but let it be said, it's a standard metric allen wrench, NOT hard to find AT ALL .......I bought a set for working on my bicycle years back (all that stuff's metric...) and I'm guessing it's anywhere from 2mm to 5 mm for the Epi LP tr (at least it worked on my '07) ....off the top of my head, I'm thinking towards the smaller end of the range - am posting from a relative's comp. Good luck, and just go to a hardware store and buy a few small metric allen wrenches - always good to have extra tools on hand...or wait until someone posts the exact size you need=d>
