: The guys in my local guitar shop say the same thing. The pickups are the biggest difference. Everthing else is pretty subtle.

i recently got an epi l.p. goldtop via ebay, and i mostly agree, BUT... the other electronics were also shitty!! for example, the volume pots had "A500K" stamped on them, which indicates to me that they were 500K audio taper. NO WAY! they measured 250K and definitely sound linear taper to me (from 10 to 0, very little drop in volume 'til the last 25%). i put in cts 500K audio's with 100pf treble bleed cap's and it rocks... you mmileage may vary...
