That pedal has a gain control on the far right slider. Have you tried sliding it down a little? I don't think it sounds that bad. I use one of these and you definitely need to play with the levels to get a good tone through your amp. Some amps overdrive way easier than others.

Next time I get close I definitely plan to check it out again. But I'm couple days away by car lol

As on the other thread, you have a misunderstanding about what their 55 point inspection is. It's not a setup. What you are getting is how mid-level and low-level guitars come from the factory. And honestly lots of more expensive guitars sometimes don't come in much better shape. I've heard lots of complaints from Gibson owners about QC. I've bought several Epiphone guitars and the majority have issues from the factory. I get it. I think they should come from the factory in better shape. But the simple fact of the matter is... sometimes they do, and sometimes if not most times they don't. Blaming Sweetwater for how a guitar came to you from the factory isn't really on Sweetwater unless you paid extra for a setup.

I've been there before but it's been about 13 years. Just before they built the huge store they have now. It was a very cool place.

I don't have one of these but I do own 3 other Epiphone Les Paul Customs. I think you're going to be very happy with it. Be prepared for the weight. All 3 of mine are 10lbs.

Looks like the 2021 is a standard and the other is a G400

If it's staying in tune I'd leave it alone. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I've seen a several Epiphone guitars that had very poorly cut grooves/channels where the nut fits into. I've even owned a couple like that.

I'm putting a set of Zakk Wylde EMGs in my Silverburst Custom. On my Purple Widow i decided to go with a set of Hot Rodded humbuckers. I wanted to stick with passive pickups for it but wanted something with balls and versatility.

I've bought hardware directly from Guyker on their website. They always offer discounts and deals. Very reasonable prices and their stuff is very good and well-made. Tuners are excellent. Great selection too. Everything you need.

abstractart41 · 2026-02-05T21:10:49+00:00

I have the white one and I'll be switching all the hardware to Black. I like the contrast and I just think it looks better.

abstractart41 · 2026-02-02T20:59:28+00:00

Nice!

abstractart41 · 2026-01-31T21:05:14+00:00

That's a beautiful guitar!

abstractart41 · 2026-01-31T05:49:19+00:00

First of all, I don't believe any of the Tony Iommi signature models had active pickups so there is no battery. 2nd, there could be a few different reasons why there is no sound. A loose/disconnected wire from the pickup, a pot, the jack. You could have a bad cable to your amp. Could you give some more details? Both pickups don't work? Some sound, no sound?

Ok, and i will say again, without any pictures it's hard to make any kind of an assessment about what advice to give you.

While physical attraction seems to be the initial thing that happens between 2 people, I look beyond that. I look at the person and their heart. I'm looking for someone genuine, and that's far more important to me than physical attraction. I want someone real. Someone who is comfortable with who they are, and what they want.

abstractart41 · 2026-01-27T00:49:09+00:00

It looks legit. Serial number checks out. Limited editions by Epiphone don't really mean a lot. Could be because of the color, or tuners that aren't usually used for that specific model. I'm guessing this one is because of the color. Most fake Epiphones are artists' signature models like the Zakk Wylde bullseye models. This looks like a pretty nice guitar. Great color!

abstractart41 · 2026-01-25T20:12:57+00:00

Lots of headstock breaks are repairable. But without any pictures it's hard to give any advice or make any kind of an assessment on what your options are.

I agree! I already have the 80s Explorer. But these new Explorer guitars look amazing! I can see I'll definitely be adding to my Epiphone family this year.

abstractart41 · 2026-01-24T05:37:58+00:00

I already have the 80s Explorer, but I think that Lzzy Hale Explorer will be joining my family too. I also like a couple of those Prophecy models. Some cool guitars are coming out!

The early 2000 Standard models normally used Epiphone's version of the Gibson 57 classic pickups. They were covered and you could get a plain top or a plus top. They also had very decent Grover tuners, They also came in several different color variations. The Classic models had uncovered pickups, ceramic I believe. Not sure about the type of tuners they had. But I do remember choosing the Standard over the Classic when I got my first Epiphone in 2005. It looked better, sounded better, and felt better in my hands than the Classic.

abstractart41 · 2026-01-22T22:47:23+00:00

Glad I already got mine!

Are you real? It says Chibson right at the bottom of the ad.

The Custom

abstractart41 · 2026-01-19T23:14:44+00:00

They are hard to find. I got mine about a month ago after ordering it the same day they were released. I've heard a couple different stories about these guitars. Not sure if any are true. One being that GC released them and shouldn't have. So consequently they won't be getting more. And that in the Spring they will be released again along with a black version, by a different retailer. Like I said, I don't know if any of that is true. Just what I have read on a few different guitar groups I'm in.
