Can somebody with an Epi Pro-IV take a picture inside of the wiring?
Specifically the red from battery holder where it connects as well as the black wire from the pre-amp where it connects to?
They came undone when I was shielding inside my guitar and I placed them where I believed they should be to no avail.
I’d like to see if that is correct then maybe the pre-amp has died.

I finally got to play my Ember Red Epiphone '64 in a band situation last night! Who's That has been on the back burner for over two years for lack of a singer. We have been approached to perform at the Silver Lake Twin Drive in theater to perform before showings of Tommy and The Kids Are All Right. Our original singer has agreed to come back for this show and on a limited basis for other shows. 
So back to the '64 Thunderbird ! My initial reaction to the '64 wasn't as favorable as the Vintage Pro. After playing the '64 in a band situation here are my thoughts. It feels good hanging on a strap, I don't notice the slightly thicker body. The neck is fabulous with super super low action, possibly the lowest of any Tbird I own. Lastly the pickups sound great not as aggressive as the Probucker 760s of the Vintage Pro but a warmer more balanced version, very much like the original pickup in my 64-65 Fenderbird. So while at first I was a bit disappointed in the Epiphone '64 Thunderbird after playing it in a band situation I really am impressed with it. Now I can justify a purple one

Definitely some AL in there.
Handy things to Trigger a drummer from a friend. It worked for me and I'm not on FB.
This Willy is better...
Or.... One is not enough.
And yes, they were fantastic live.

Were they influenced by T Rex?
