I'm sure just about anybody (except me!) could set it up. This was actually my first attempt at anything like this - when it came to finishing it up I was in over my head and knew it. Nuthin' wrong with calling in a pro

When I did my Fenderbird with my Epi 'Bird, I had my luthier round out the neck pocket to fit a Warmoth "Fender" neck. He also had to do a little routing for the Gibson-sized pickups. If you route these things, and it's the sunburst finish, BE CAREFUL! Under that finish is a veneer that WILL chip, so take your time if you want a clean route.
Ah - as I suspect, the epi is *not* solid mahogany - - what's under it (I'm afraid to ask!)? Alder? Pressboard? MDF?
Heck, I don't know - All I know is that Epiphone is Gibson's cheap-offshore solution - - And I *do* know that these basses sell for a pretty strangely low price.
What, you think Gibson is *above* using MDF? Look what they did to Tobias - these folks are capable of anything...
