Re: hello from Italy!
thanks guys!
here's a bigger pic of my epi
i hope to post more detailed pics soon!
i made the electronics myself, inspired by the Gibson BFG model.
so it has a killswitch on top, instead of the Treble/Rythm switch and the PU selector near the only one volume knob.
plain and simple...just rock!

well
first i don't know what to do with 4 knobs on it...
i've never used tone pots, and for the volume, i use a volume pedal (is more confortable than reach the vol knob).
then i saw the BFG commercial...i thought it was great!
simple electronics.
so i removed the neck tone and volume pots and left only one tone and volume pots.i've connected all pickups to a killswitch that ive place instead of the PU switch (now placed near the vol knob). then wired to a common volume and to a tone pot (set to 10) that i've taped and left underneath.
I don't know if the BFG electronics is like i did...but it works like that!

now that the electronic part is kinda "empty" and there's enough space, i thought about to build a kind of tone booster and place it on the guitar with only the on/off switch near the PU selector switch. what do you think about it?
