Yes! Send it back.

That truss rod cover looks back to front to me.

The thing I don't get is if he hates Epiphone's so much, why does he spend so much time posting in this forum? It's not even a rational argument he has for his dislike of Epiphone. Most good guitarists could find a (Chinese) Epiphone that they like. I'd love to hear him play guitar...I bet he sucks big time
It's nothing to do with Epiphone, he just a troll getting off on the attention. Mommy didn't love him enough or Daddy used to beat him or he was bullied at school or he just feels inadequate because he has no friends. Just ignore him like everybody else in his sad little life does.

Probably not what you want to hear but I don't recall ever hearing of anyone successfully repairing an eSonic problem, I think your best bet would be to contact your dealer, is the guitar still under warranty?
-
If you bought it new then the batteries (two lithium watch batteries) should be in there. Just remove the thin piece of plastic separating them and you're good to go.

Were you able to guess because of the serial number?
I don't want to put words in his mouth but I think he just subtracted 30 from 2017 to get 1987, which is correct (at least it was when I went to school) and not 2007 as you wrote in your original post.
EDIT: Nice guitar btw

Looking forward to seeing the pics

I haven't been following the currency market, but jeez, what happened to the euro? It has really dropped with respect to the dollar in the last year or so....
It's even worse against the pound, I have family in the UK and visiting them is very expensive. We can thank the Greeks for that.
Yeah, it is different and interesting, but I think overpriced for a 30+ year old Norlin era laminate Epiphone. You can get a pretty nice brand new Epiphone in that price range (Hummingbird Artist?You're right, I'd pretty much decided to give it a miss.
This all started with the hype over the new Masterbilt, which is no longer even an option, seeing as how not one single dealer in this country seems to be carrying it and Thomann have pulled it from their line. Apparently I haven't won one either.
I have been looking at Dove Pros, Hummingbird Pros and Texans but I'm not sure what any of them will give that my DR500MCE doesn't.

It's not in epiwiki, but there is a PR-500 and 550 run in the 80s. The maple back and sides probably look nice, but I'm betting they're laminate. The spruce top might also be. Most of the PR's are all laminate, with a few exceptions with a solid spruce top. And the neck does look bolt-on, which is weird, but it's hard to see on the one photo of this model on the internet. Epiwiki says the 500 and 550 are set necks. The MPL is apparently fairly rare, but still not worth a lot, IMO. What few there were, apparently went to Europe, with some left in Japan. What's the serial no.?
The serial number is 07780467 and you can see the guitar here:
I'm not desperate to buy it, just had a mild case of GAS and this piqued my interest because it's something a bit different.

I was just browsing around a Dutch auction site and came across an Epiphone PR-545MPL. From the photos it looks to be in reasonable condition and the guy is not expecting silly money for it so I'm half tempted to put in a bid. Thing is, I can't find any information on this model at all, it's a dreadnought and was made in Japan (the pics show the label in the sound hole). Could anybody here perhaps shed a little more light?

Remove the strip of plastic between the batteries.
