Supersonic

Like what specifically?

Just to "chime in", My last three purchases from Musician's Friend were a Ltd. Edition G-400 Deluxe, a PR-150 acoustic, and a Ltd. Edition P93 Riviera. All of them came with all of the usual stuff except the SG came with a Musician's Friend sticker and The P93 came with an Epi sticker. (The acoustic didn't come with the cable of course). I've got tons of those posters with the Casino on them if anyone wants one. lol

Yes sir! Now if they would only make a Sheraton in cherry red with one of those and a Bigsby, it would be getting very close to the vintage ES-355 vibe that I love but can't afford.

One of those things would be sooo suh-weet on a Sheraton.

Ahh, I too once owned one of these. Mine had the natural finish and it was my first "good" guitar. Unfortunately, I had to pawn it for rent money when I was in college and I never ended up getting it back. It was a great guitar and I miss it... A LOT.

Well I'm no expert by any means, but stock Epi pups do not have PAF stickers on them. Those look like Gibsons. As for the sound, perhaps this is a "classic" case of your ears hearing what your brain has already predetermined, if that makes any sense. Look at these pickups in Indian Scouts' LP Tribute from another thread. Those are Gibson 57 Classics as well.

No, those are not the standard Epi pickups. Look like USA pups to me. Congrats!
