Les Paul Output jack issue

I managed to drop my Jerry Cantrell wino (No strap locks, yes I feel very silly). Luckily, the guitar cable took the impact and is broken, however the output jack is loose and wobbly. I took it apart to check the damage, and I think the interior washer is not supposed to be at this jaunty angle. The problem is, it‘s stuck, and when I twist it the whole jack turns too, so it can‘t remove it to re-set it. Any idea what to do? Thanks.

Do any bargain PAF style pickups beat the Epi ProBuckers?

Long story short: I am considering teplacing the high output pickups in my LP studio, and Epi Probuckers seem pretty hard to beat for the price ($40 for a new set). However, I do have a stock Epi standard from 2010, so I'm guessing those are Probuckers in it, not sure if its worthwhile to put a different pickup in the studio or leave the ones I have in it.

Are there any other really good PAF style pickups that can be had for under $100 a set that I should be considering?

The long version: I picked up a used LP Studio that had been upgraded with Seymour Duncan pickups.

They sound fine to me, but the volume pot seems to go from silent to full volume in the 0-3 range, and oddly, the neck pickup seemed louder than the bridge at the same volume.

I figured maybe there was a wiring issue or something, and when I checked the wiring, its a real hack job. Twisted wires covered in painters tape and bad solder joints. Figure I am going to redo do that, possibly upgrade the pots while I am at it.

When I checked the pickups, they were SD's "SH-6" neck and bridge - Duncan Distortion pickupsaka the "Mayhem" set. These are high output pickups for metal, rated at 12.7k for the neck and 16.6k for the bridge, snd they have 4 conductor wiring.

I am more of a blues and classic rock guy, and since I am going to redo the wiring anyways, I am wondering if I should just swap these out out for Epiphone Probuckers to go for a more PAF style pickup. Looks like brand new Probuckers can be had for about 40 bucks for a set. Should I keep searching, or just go with them?

Thanks for your feedback!

Is 150 too much to ask?

I put this on marketplace for 150 and got a bunch of messages telling me it’s to high! Seemed fair to me! They are offering 75-100. Thoughts?

Epiphone Blue/Green Color?

Trying to identify the name of this color Epiphone uses on some of their guitars. I have an Epiphone Les Paul from 2005 and it’s the dark blue color with shades of green in it. This SG I’m looking at has the exact same color, but I can’t find the name of it anywhere. Anyone know what it’s called? It almost looks transparent blue but has shades of green in it. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!!

My main and only axes for 25 years.

These two Epis and I have been through a lot. Bar gigs, record demos, record two albums, toured with me, small venue to big venue gigs, photoshoots, etc. Taught my daughter guitar on them, then my son.

I got the SG second hand for about $150, while the acoustic was about $500 brand new. Both are worth a lifetime of memories today.

Genuinely my favourite guitar I’ve ever played

So happy with the lifeson so far it’s all set up wonderfully and is really great. Some people would argue for the price to get a Gibson but it wouldn’t have the specs of this one. Great instrument

My current main: Emily Wolfe Sheraton Stealth

I'm not usually a fan of gold hardware but I love it on this guitar. I replaced the Alnico Classic Pros with a Seymour Duncan 59 in the bridge and a GFS Mean90 in the neck. It plays amazing and sounds awesome. I love the Tree Of Life and the diamond f-holes.

WTB: Epiphone SG Special TV Yellow

Just thought I’d try to find someone looking to get rid of theirs before I buy brand new. Looking for like new-ish condition. Would love a hardcase as well if possible. Let me know.

Just bought this Epiphone. What do y'all think about/know about this guitar? I've never seen it before and didn't find it on the internet.

It's a 2008 Epiphone EM-2 Custom Profecy in a purple I've never seen before.

(Reddit did not let me upload the image in any way I'm sorry)

Different Epiphone SG Standard?

Just wanted to ask, if you had to make a tier list of Epi SGs how would it look like? I have been looking for one for a while and I find it really hard to know which is which and what the difference is. For example the Standards I have seen:

- SG Standard Inspired by Gibson with logo on backplate.

- SG Standard Inspired by Gibson no logo on the back.

- SG Standard.

- SG 61 Inspired by Gibson.

Any pointers on what the consensus is between these models? Which one do you prefer?

What guitar should I get?

So i am a Strat man. I have 2 cheap azz strats that play great. But I'm looking to get myself a nicer guitar in more of a low-midrange £500 price range. That's lead me to: the Epiphone Riviera in royal tan, the Epiphone Les Paul Special Double Cut in TV yellow, or maybe something like the Epiphone SG Custom in ebony. I was also thinking of getting a Fender Standard Telecaster but tbh it's just a repackaged squier. So, any thoughts? (my reference is Nick Valensi mainly and that kinda vibe with P90s or swapping P94s in a Riviera but idk. not trying to replicate his guitars but i think they look cool).

Two Slash Les Pauls

​

I took the probuckers out of the Anaconda Burst and put a JB/Jazz set in. Replaced the JB's a5 with a c8 magnet. November Burst has a Perpetual Burn in the bridge, and soon to have a screamin demon in the neck. I'm running through an Axe-Fx II XL+ using the VH4 and Rectifier for rhythm and the Mark IIC+ for leads. Tune is Brute Force by Rabea Massaad.

Epiphone IGC 1964 SG w/ Vibrola vs Gibson SG Standard '61 Stop Bar

I'm left-handed so my options are limited. Epiphone IGC is $1299 and the Gibson is $1999. I own a Casino and Epiphone LP Custom so I'm not opposed to staying with Epiphone. I've always wanted to own a Gibson but is it really worth the extra $700? I was also seeing used Gibson SG Standards on reverb for around $1300.
