Hot Cake Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Hello, what are the main, and or other differences, that i have missed, between the models below, as their prices vary a lot. I'm referring to the single cut version. Les Paul junior VOS Custom shop built, fatter 50s neck, angled bridge, P90, hardcase. Les Paul junior 1958 satin Mass built, thinner (SG standard-like?) 60s neck, straight bridge, nitro finish, P90. Les Paul junior Billy Joe Armstrong model Mass built, thinner (SG standard-like?) 60s neck, angled bridge, gloss finish, H90, hardcase. I'm put off a little bit by the BJA model, due to it being a modified P90, but i do like the vintage burst finish, like the VOS version. Any comments/advice appreciated. I really need one of these, as i love P90s and the tone of these guitars. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky4 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 No big difference. The originals had a neck referred to as a baseball bat. I like the original two tone sunburst also. I can't figure out why the BGA is so expensive. No help here really. You'll have to play a few to figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Cake Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 So i went and did a bit of research and checked out a few. I managed to have a look at a real 58 junior and wow!Lovely fat neck. The faded/nitro Jrs aren't very impressive, in that the necks really are a lot thinner and the finish (even though i like nitro) just looked like a quick slap-dash layer of white wash. I also noticed on this model and a BJA one, that where the wraparound tailpiece met the wood, it was a bit 'messy,' so to speak. I've decided though that i want to go for the VOS version (in vintage sunburst) because of that neck. Sadly i can't justify going for an original 50s, as much as i would love to.
