Sinner 13 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I have a 2001 in black, with a Bigsby, locking tuners, and vintage wiring harness. Looking for another in the same vintage for a back up, I play the hell out of mine on stage and its a tank. My question is, why is it so hard to find these used?

Surfabilly Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Which locking tuners did you use? I'm planning to add a Bigsby B5 to my Les Paul Faded Double Cut, and was going to do the same with my Epi LP Jr. 90, but I've got the Gibson on lay-away, so the Bigsby will go on that one. Right now, I have two sets of Wilkinson locking tuners, as well as a Tune-O-Matic style roller bridge for each. I figure things should stay in tune, fairly well, with the bridge and locking tuners.

Sinner 13 Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 I used run of the mill Sperzels, just about any self respecting guitar store has them in stock. And I replaced the stock compensated bridge with an after market with V-notches for the strings which I got off E-Bay for 18 bucks. string pressure alone is enough to hold it in place.

sricabla Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 It seems that if you look on ebay there's a lot of overpriced vintage Jr.'s.At the moment the Jr.'s aren't as fashionable to be playing, with the exception of Billy Joe of Greenday. I'm sure a lot of players will move to the Jr. eventually, but not too many other big name guitarists are using them yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinner 13 Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 I am not even looking for vintage(your right they are ridiculously over priced). I just want another '01 in black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyCrash Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I suspect you have a Les Paul Junior LITE modified with an aftermarket set of tuners and a Bigsby. Does it have two stacked coil humbucking P-100s? I've gotta 2000 LPJr Lite and I've since dumped the P-100s for proper P-90s (and soon a minihumbucker in the neck spot). Perhaps do an eBay search for "Les Paul Junior Lite"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinner 13 Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 all the mods i did my self it was an off the shelf from M.F. that my other guitar player purchased, and the in turn sold it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
