merciful-evans Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 I was curious what the fingerboard wood was on that HB. Its listed as 'amaranth'. I've never heard of this, but one site reports that's its listed harder than maple on the Janka scale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amaranth seems to be an alternate name for Purpleheart, but I, not being a connoisseur of fine wood I think you know more than I do.. On the Thomman site this HB DC Junior's fretboard is listed as Ebony.. Some of the new features, a P100 style that the second coil is wired out of phase and can be taped out using the tone control, also a Fat 59 neck. Some of the earlier variations of the HB DC Junior do list an Amarant (Purpleheart) Fingereboard.. It seems each production run has new mods.  I do love this style of guitar, as they are just Meat and Potatoes like a Smith and Wesson Schofield..

LP Juniors normally don't come with a P90 in the neck position, only Specials have them.. I have seen low profile surface mount pickups mounted in the neck position on Juniors, like Filtertrons or Teisco gold foils. I had thought of installing one of these Filtertron style pickups on my SG-X, but I could have just bought an SG-Z with a single coil at the neck instead...
