Hello,

One day I won for a friend a Greco SG 63 ($230, thin neck). I was so fascinated by its sound that it inspired me to win a Greco Les Paul EG-420 (cause i wanted a lespaul). It cost me $240. When it came and I plugged it, I was so much dissaponited by the sound; it sounded excatly as my Korean Rok Axe. While the SG was bright and with good attack , my Les Paul EG-420 was too dull with no punch at all as if someone put a pillow in front of the speaker. I don't know what to do. My Greco hasn't got an s/n, so now I'm beginning doubting if that was a real Greco EG-420 I won.

Here's a pic:

What do you think, should I sell this guitar or replace the pickups? Though my friend didn't need any pu replacement.

Thanks a lot.
