I bought a lefty Epi LP Standard back around 1999, it was junk, the tuners were crap, the pickups sucked, and the pots were useless..no taper to them at all until you got down to around 2 then they abruptly shut off, I hated the Epi version of the tune-o-matic, the saddles sit higher than on a Gibson abr1 and actually cut my hand. After evaluating it I came to the conclusion that it wasn't worth investing money in it to upgrade all the {censored}ty components so I unloaded it on Ebay.
