Why won't play through amp and tuner not working
well my guess (from experience) is that, if the battery was inserted correctly and you know its good. and you know your cord is good and your volumes are up. then chances are the pick up ( which are very touchy in those) has gone bad and needs to be replaced. which if the guitar is fairly new. have them just switch out the guitar or send it in for the repair.

Tone knob and switch info
the switch, has three positions. Typically forward or up will be your neck (or rythm) pick ups, only and will work with one volume knob(usually top right as your looking at guitar), and one tone knob ( top left as your looking at the guitar). when the switch is in the far right or all the way down position, that will be the saddle (or lead) pick-ups. And that works with only one volume knob(bottom right as your looking at the guitar) and the corresponding tone knob. when the switch is in the middle position, botjh volume knobs work and both tone knobs work. You've gotta kinda play around with them to find whatever sound yopur looking for. and tone knobs are very subtle in their changes. good luck

Where and how do i put batteries in epiphone les paul standard
If your pick-ups are active pick-ups, then yes they require a
battery(s). Typically that guitar comes stock with passive (non-active) pick-ups and do not requuire any batteries. How ever if they are needed, you need to remove the plate cover directly behind the volume knobs. (located on the back of the guitar). open that up, If it requires a battery, there will be an old one in there more (than likely)
and that should tell you everything you need to know. probasbly a 9volt. good luck

Depending on condition and if all parts are original or not, there are variables. If all original, 125 is less than half of what a new one costs.
My guitar has is an epiphone les paul but it also
Epiphone is a budget conscious gibson. And probably not made in the USA.
1957 - Gibson's parent company, CMI, buys
Epiphone
for $20,000, originally intending to harness its upright bass
operation,
but ultimately reviving the Epiphone name on guitars. A full line of
newly
designed acoustics and electrics is unveiled in 1958, and two years
later
Epiphone production moves into Gibson's factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
1970 - In the face of foreign competition,
Epiphone
production is moved to Japan. Through the 1970s and early '80s, the
Epiphone
line has little continuity, although it maintains respect as a quality
import
brand.
1983 - Epiphone production is moved to Korea.
1986 - Henry Juszkiewicz, David Berryman and
Gary
Zebrowski acquire Epiphone and Gibson. The Epi line is soon expanded to
include
traditional models like the Sheraton, Emperor and Howard Roberts, along
with
Epi versions of Gibson classics like the Les Paul, Flying V and
Explorer.

That's a CTS pot. i suspect it's been changed from the original one.
