NGD: Epiphone Gothic SG, Loaded with Duncans!

[GuitarFanatic]

I traded my fake Gibson and my small Vox amp for an Epiphone Gothic SG. It is a great sounding guitar with the Full Shred (Bridge) and the JB (Bridge version in neck.) Pics and sound clip to come soon, as I am just getting acquainted with it's weird wiring.

Seems like a wise trade off.

When you photograph the guitar, include images of its control wiring.

Here's a photo of the beast. it seems to have the pots wired differently to most SGs. It has Volume Volume on top, Tone Tone below. I should get used to the wiring. It is a beast though with the Full Shred and JB. The JB is the bridge version in the neck.

Hm...

We might have a slightly different definition of what makes great guitar (porn) photography! Way to show of your NGD...

Perhaps pics out of the case or where the light can hit it? Looks like knobs in a case with strings lol

Jokes aside, congrats on the guitar and for loving your tone! :headbang:

Any guitar could have killed the peavey if it was faulty. haha

Eh.. well, it did have a burning cap smell. Then one day at rehearsal (first band situation) It smoked up and DIED.

It has Volume Volume on top, Tone Tone below.

Like a Rickenbacker or a PRS Singlecut, perhaps?

If there is enough slack in the cabling, it would be a spanner job to relocate the pots to their traditional and familiar positions.

Nah, It's fine. I like the wiring as it is. It's handy to have the volumes seperate, so I don't roll my tone off when I'm using it. It sounds like Angus Young on Steroids!

No its not ''meh'' A pickup can't destroy an amplifier end of story. Stop saying it.

Sell a guitar or 2 and get another amp.

Welp, a trip to the hock shop is in order, i suppose. but idk how to stop this Peavey from shutting down randomly. It just stops working, then works a minute later. I replaced a burnt resistor and it seems to have not fixed the problem.

You mean the fuse or what?

No points for guessing why the previous owner dumped it. :scratchch

Fuse is fine, i didn't see it blown inside, so I do not know what the hell to do. Guy traded it to me for my keyboard.
