Fret Level & Pickup Swap On Epiphone 339

Fresh outta the box! The Pelham Blue 339!

Replaced the stock Epiphone humbuckers with Seymour Duncan Sh2n Jazz 'buckers. Massive cleans that sound super bright with a bit of twang.

This one has been hard to get playing to my standard. There was an acoustic Fretbuzz on the E and A when unplugged that was hard to get rid of when playing with a low action, so I've levelled the frets to help ride that lower playability. The rattle now doesn't come through when amplified which is really what you are hoping for, because after all, this isn't an acoustic guitar. Even still, I'm really not happy with how this guitar was fretted from the factory, uneven bevelled edges and high frets shouldn't be something you are having to rectify on a brand new guitar, but it's getting more common lately.



I'm loving the quality of Rotosonds recently and have setup up with 9s for some slinky action 😀✌️
