It was a guy called Buris from Beijing selling on Ebay usa. He was selling loads of Gibson replicas in the usa, the us don't mind as business is business, and only mind others not following their rules. He said that British customs are the best in the world at looking after america's interests.

I'll give them a gander in a bit, cheers. Yea my chibo's not a Gibson, but it has a mahogany body and neck, ebony fret board; sounds so much nicer than my Yam Pacifica 012, Kcc Strat, Hondo Lp. Can't be down to the cheap electrics, so new bits should make it even better. Hopes :) I spotted a good wiring mod for one of the tone pots; using two different values of capacitor soldered to the pull push switch. Standard and take your pick what other value. Yea, looking around the net for parts I came across those connectors; I guess they are ok if what your buying / swapping over, has the same connectors. I'm pretty good with a soldering iron, and like to do things on the cheap :)

I’m going to go with JH being a bit of a knob.

i found the picture i took of the controls on my epiphone, the bullet casing is a winchester .38 special, it's got a bit of tape on it to make it a snug fit, the toggle switch has some tubing to take up the extra diameter of the hole and a slightly bigger washer to keep it neat. Matt

I'm a big fan of the Wilkinson E Z Lock Tuners on my Vintage V6. The damn thing just won't go out of tune, no matter how much bending I do, or how much whammy action I give it.... They've been a bit of a revelation. As much as I love my old Westbury Standard, in the studio earlier this year I was having to tune between every take. No such problems with the V6 on the last session. Can't help with the second bit though, sorry!
