Ok, play the guitar unplugged for a while. Why? Because the epi pickups are mediocre. You want to hear how the guitar sounds unplugged because then you can make the best decision. How is the sustain, does it ring out, how are the frets, how does the neck feel, how does the finish look. Most likely you are going to swap out the pickups anyway at some point, so by playing it unplugged you can take them out of the equation.
