satoriforsale's Epiphone Amp Rig

First electric guitar I ever bought. I have changed the wiring (to 50's style), the pods and the pickups (now Gibson Burstbuckers 1 + 2, with 1 having it's magnet flipped for out of phase sound). I have set the tone and volume knobs to a default position and flip from an Clapton's Woman Tone inspired Rhythm position to an Peter Green like out of phase middle position and an raw and edgy Treble mode. The first mod I made to this guitar was turning the rhythm/treble toggle 270 degrees (I kept accidentally switching from rhythm to treble mode on my upstroke). Although the need for this mod is no longer there I have since gotten so used to it that I would apply this mod to any other Les Paul.

The SC-450s were made in Japan by Matsumoku from 1976 to 1979.

The SC-450 has a three piece maple body with a scroll on the upper horn and a German carve around the body. The set neck is also three-piece maple with an ebony fingerboard, dot inlays and brass nut. Scale length is 25.5 inches, and the fingerboard width is 1-11/14 inches at the nut. The 24 fret neck joins the body at the 21st fret.

Hardware is chrome plated including a fully adjustable tune-o-matic bridge and stop tail-piece.

Pickups are two exposed or covered coil humbuckers (depending on pickup options), controlled by a three position toggle switch and single volume/tone controls. There is also a coil tap switch.

Finish options were walnut stain or natural. Mine is walnut with exposed humbuckers, as in the picture.

I am currently having this guitar modded to include an out-of-phase mini toggle.
