ManDude Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Hello all, I'm new to the forum and still noodling my way around (what a wealth of information!) Here's the deal, I acquired an Epiphone G-1275 (Double Neck 6 and 12 String). Considering it was build in 99 and probably sat in someone basement for years the body and finish are in pretty good condition. The tuners are bent, the toggle switches are broken and the electronics are noisey, and ALL are going to be replaced. Frets need a little work and the bridges are green from corrosion. Bottomline: everything is going to be replaced. I never intend on selling it as it is exclusively for my collection and for me to play with! I'm soliciting suggestions/recommendations for the following: NUT ???? PICKUPS (Lace Alumintone for 12 string side, and maybe Lace Deathbuckers or DiMarzio EJ Custom™ DP211, DP212 or Bluebuckers for 6 string side) thoughts? BRIDGE Piezo replacements for both. Thoughts? WIRING Volume/tone - push/pull going to leverage Seymour Duncan Triple Shots for the mounting rings for series/parallel switching Considering individual volume and tone for each pickup (including bridge) plus phase switches for both sets. I'd appreciate the thoughts of experienced builders on this endeavour and any recommendations would be HIGHLY appreciated. Thanks in advance for your care and attention in this matter!

WezV Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 is it the bolt on or set neck version - if i remember rightly epiphone offered both options when they did their version in the 90's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim37 Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 im think i would avoid the peizo pickups you already have four pickups three switches and four pots to wire up to me it seems like it could become a nightmare tring to wire in more.
