These Epi BB Kings are pretty expensive you would think they could put full size decent pots in them. I googled wiring photos EPI Lucille and exactly the same as what I have to the last detail. I did remove the back cover and have a look at the electronics and one glance with the tiny pots etc and thought it must be a copy. Detuned it, checked the pickups, then removed the back cover until I remembered I probably plugged into the stereo outlet instead of mono. I am so paranoid I plugged the guitar in today and was only getting an output on the treble pick up. I had another look and there is no logo on stop tail or bridge but the stop tail is clearly not original anyway as it doesn't have the micro tuners. This is BB King is an excellent guitar by the way, in fact I sold my Joe Pass in favour of it. They can't be ignored anymore same as Japan used to be known for junk. I had an Epi RIviera Epi Chinese factory made, one of the best guitars I ever played. Some excellent stuff coming out of China now. Do they even make fake Epi's? I live in Thailand and see tons of fake USA Fenders and Gibson's and believe it or not some excellent players but their logos, printing etc you would know in a heartbeat it was a fake. Pick ups, bridge everything marked Epiphone. Literally had hundreds of guitars over the years and fakes even good ones are not hard to spot.
