Many people (like me) buy Epiphones because they are cheaper, and then later upgrade the pups and wiring and what not. I'd love to see a tutorial on how to do this yourself. And it would be way awesome if the vid would show how to coil tap also.

Please and thank you.

I'd love to see a coil tap video. But upgrading electronics isn't too hard. You just have to do it one pot at a time. Remember where every cable went, unsolder them, remove the pot, put the new one in, resolder them where they originally went. Worked for me.

Unless you're replacing the individual wires too (shouldn't be necessary), in which case, things might get a bit more tricky.

Otherwise, yeah, just do one thing at a time, and remember (or write down) which wires go where, and work from there. Troubleshooting isn't too hard either. If it sounds right, you're a genius, if it doesn't, resolder!
