i gotta tell you this is a beautiful guitar, i want to get one someday, and maybe replace the electronics to my liking. you did a very good job, thanks for the vids man

[johnplanetz]

@hutch356 - thanks! Something you may be interested in, when you're ready to buy: Epiphone recently released the ES-345 and ES-355 which are similar but with 2 humbuckers instead of 3 P-90's. I probably would have got the ES-355 instead of this, if it had been available at the time.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! I just rewired my Epiphone Riviera this past weekend, and your videos were CRITICAL to the easy success I encountered. Thank you!

@dukeh62 - great! happy to hear it.

@westfield90 -yes, a deep socket-type wrench would better, but I didn't have one at the time. Stewmac has a nice set.

my question is what is the north start north finish south start south finish wire from the pick ups and what do you do with them ?

[johnplanetz]

@acrock21 - see the posts "Humbucker Wiring" at my planetz blog on October 9, 2010, and "Splitting the Coils" on November 9, 2010. should have the info you need. (Youtube won't let me post links here, but you can find them easily)

GREAT job! I started watching with your p93 review and got hooked on your pickup replacement tutorials and then electronics tutorial. You have my respect for doing all of that so well and professionally. cheers!
