2015 Les Paul Juniors;

[antwhi2001]

Looked forward to getting one; it's a huge disappointment and I was stupid to buy online without trying one "in the flesh". They look like brilliant value, but mine is being resold at a loss after 6 weeks and 1 gig:

 

1. It weighs a ton. I thought it would be light (like my 2 LP Specials). It's the heaviest out of the 12 guitars I currently own.

2. The neck profile and strangely wide fretboard don't feel like any guitar I've played in the last 41 years;

3. The G Force tuning is unreliable and too risky for quick retunes between songs; I won't let it embarrass me again ("oh look, he's got one of those new robot tuners...ha ha, it doesn't work!");

4. The dingy yellow is unlike any I've seen on other Gibbys, certainly not TV yellow;

5. The rattling bass strings can probably be cured by a set up, but why bother?

 

On the plus side, the case is really good.

 

Were the original Juniors this thick/heavy??

do you not have the typical 30 days full return with all money back on purchase warranty?

 

don't understand why you have to sell it at a loss unless you kept it longer than the original try out period

I have a 2015 Junior. Mine is very light, far lighter than my standard. I don't think they came in a variety of weights so I reckon you have a copy. Where did you buy it?

[antwhi2001]

No way is this a copy. With the technology and work involved, why copy a £450 guitar? It weighs 10 lb. I suspect you have a LP Jnr bought in 2015, but not the new 2015 model.

10 pound??? I think someone left a brick inside it!
