[QUOTE="Julia, post: 105406, member: 1784"] Honestly the pots and shielding are pretty bad on Gibsons as well. Not to mention that the Epiphone probably has a better fret job. IMO for about $120 you can turn that Epiphone into a better player than an off the rack Gibson. But before you do that: * check the solder joints and resolder with leaded electrical solder as needed. * go to the hardware store and get some electrical contact cleaner and squirt some inside the offending pots, and work that around. You may not have to change them out. I think they use the same ones on Gibsons. * check your ground wire. I have an Epi Les Paul with P90s and it's all stock and is fine. [/QUOTE]
