crust Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 You tell me what your thoughts are, now that you have played it for a few days. Me, I think they are great guitars...but that's just me. I put a roller bridge on the red one I haven't done any rewiring. Here is a pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newlife15 Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 Wow Crust...hmmmmm seem to me you like them....lol... I have been playing the guitar all weekend and I like it quite a bit... Neck is smooth and the amount of versatility you can get from the pickups configuration is great. The pickups seem Fine for now though I found that they can get muddy at higher levels. I am certainly considering swapping them out but only if the lollar or duncans make a huge difference. I tried posting pics from my phone but I couldn't. I will get on my laptop tonight and try again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crust Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 try adjusting the pickup and pole piece heights to see if you can get it to sound any better. You might have the same condition with any pickups if they aren't "dialed in" properly, I guess.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might have the same condition with any pickups if they aren't "dialed in" properly, I guess.. P-90's especially, can vary in sound, depending on the pole piece heights, or that of the pickup, itself. Depending on how you set them up, they can be quite clean, to really raunchy/ballsy! I'd suggest picking the amp you'll use most (IF you have several), and balance it, to that. My Casino sounds totally different, even clean, on my Fender amps, to my Vox AC-30, or the Marshall. I actually prefer the tones (I have now) when used with my Fender amps. But, one can adjust, somewhat for the other's. It's all in degrees, and what you really want.

old mark Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I have a P93 Custom in wine red. I really agree - don't be in a hurry to change things around till you have spent time finding out what the guitar will do. Epiphone P 90's are as good as any I have heard, and I have some VERY expensive hand wound P90's in a Gibson Les Paul...Try different strings, adjust the pickup height, set the amp and adjust the V & T controls... I see far too many posts starting " I just bought an Epiphone online and it will be here in a few days - what should I change on it..." Play it and try it. I have never found any problems with ANY of my 7 Epiphone electric guitars that had to do with pickups or electronics. The only thing that I have replaced on 1 or 2 of them - I replaced the TOM bridge with a Gotoh. I have also done this on several of my Gibsons.

Thomse Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I like the sound that they produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
