Both knobs in, monden humbuckers. Tone knob out (alone), vintage humbuckers. Volume knob out (alone) Cali Single Coils. Both knobs out, vintage single coil. Long story short, tone knob is modern vs vintage. Volume knob is humbucker vs single coil.
Thank you so much for taking the time to breakdown the guitar, and explaining it. I've ordered one and I'm waiting for it to come in. Btw, love the control you have on that right hand. You're an inspiration.
I just bought one of these. It's on back order. I do have a Gibson Explorer, and yes, the G and B strings will not stay in tune for anything. I'm putting locking tuners on it so we'll see if that helps. Hopefully the Epi. does a better job staying in tune.
Have you tried it on a strap? Is it neck-heavy? I've got an old epi explorer goth which had the strap button at the exact same place and it was annoyingly neck-heavy, so I moved the button next to the neck joint, like it is placed on the original gibson, and solved the problem. In this one though, the neck joint is quite different and I'm not sure if it is safe to drill and place the button over there.
