Sounds like the plug jack may be wired backwards. The wire in the middle goes to the part of the plug that touches on the tip of the cord. The ground touches the ring that goes around the plug.

Or a bad solder connection on the ground wire on the jack, or shell/sheild on the guitar.

Here is the list you seek.

Hi ! Must be a problem with either the nut or the g-saddle in the bridge of the guitar.
Good luck , Stefan from Sweden

Unless you are wanting to use the Nanomag, I'd just get it taken out of the signal. You should be able to bypass it anyways.

Cant get the buzz out of the high E string on my Epiphone les paul guitar

A buzz on one string is not due to a pickup fault. It's rather a too low string height at the nut or a string slot that is either too wide or has too deep of an angle towards the tuner. It could however be that you had the pickup too close to the high E string creating excessive string pull.

Which knob does what on the epiphone les paul studio? there are 4 knobs and the only one i can figure out is volume.

I believe the top front is volume for the front/neck pickup...the top rear is for the rear/bridge pickup and the other two are tone knobs for the front and rear pickups.

Great guitar, **** elrctronics. want to put '57 gibson classics

You wont need new tone caps and the wiring will not need to be replaced even if you are installing new pickups.

Amplifier is buzzing when i plug in my les paul but ok with other

Several things to try:
- Probably already have, but another guitar cord.
- Ground switch on the amp?
- I had an older guitar that buzzed due to the pickups. While touching the strings, all was well - I was acting as the ground then. The ground wire broke, so it buzzed no matter what. The ground wire ran to the metal bridge.
- Play louder than the buzz! :)

Epiphone volume and tone controls

The controls should be setup in pairs (as long as the electronics haven't been modified. The two closest to the pickups are the volumes and the other two are the tone controls. The top knob set should be your neck pickup and the bottom set is for the bridge.

Schematics and wiring diagram for the typical les paul (sheraton) controls:
