So the Gibson Les Paul Jr.

[Martin101]

I'm intrested in this guitar, I see that they have some on musicanfriends.com.

 

I can't find one to play of course so I was wondering about the quality of this model. Is it a good buy?

reviews have been mixed from what I read. One guy even siad it was built likk a Korean Epiphione.

 

Just wondering what you guys thought.

 

i did a search buy could npt find any info on it.

 

thanks

In terms of value, that's a decision that only you can make.

 

But Juniors are great guitars, if you are willing to do with a single pickup. Thick, solid, flat-top mahogany body with everything else being standard LP spec except that it's stripped down.

 

Oh, it's not like a MIK Epiphone - it's made in the USA if it is part of the Gibson USA line.

I will post it here too.

I have a 2001 in black.

60's neck profile.

stock they are awesome guitars.

But I can never leave well enough alone.

Stripped the nitro finish off the neck and waxed the bare wood.

pulled the cover off the p-90 and lowered the pole pieces so I could lower the action.

put good pots and a bumble bee capacitor in.

slapped a bigsby B-50 on it, A compensated bridge with string slots(the stock one didn't have any.) and some Sperzel locking tuners.

I personally wouldn't buy a new one.

Played a few and they seem very poor in comparison all the way around.

That and I refuse to own anything with Billie Joe's name on it.

Good luck finding a used one.

The Vintage ones are going for HUGE money.

People seem to hold onto them, and for good reason.
