I've seen worse.

I'm trying to repress the trauma.

the f-holes are pure LOL material

At least even with my sausage fingers it would be a breeze to fit some proper pots - which it surely needs :O)

 :D - Yes looks enough room there to slip the soldering iron in and do the connections without  removing the pots. :lol:

You could climb in and fit them I'd have thought.

Jeez, that's bad. The 335 rip-off was bad, but that 'Epi' LP is just $%&#ed. It looks like a something someone who can recognise guitar parts has built after having a Les Paul described down the phone to them.

I'd guess they didn't make it, they modified some piece of shite to make it look (sort of) like an Epi.  They're clearly not the brightest of sparks, but they must have realised they couldn't pass it off as anything genuinely valuable.

It's probably a bolt-on Epi neck on a cr@ppy, no-name body, innit?

That's what I was thinking, but the trussrod cover and/or headstock inlay look severely off-kilter.  Are Epiphone that sloppy?
