As some of you already know I'm embarking on a Gibby JL jr project, however I felt I should give a review on this instrument as I recieved it stock, because by this time next week it will have some significant upgrades.

 

Feel

The guitar feels very fat. After seeing images, I thought the body would be thinner than the average les paul. But it's very thick. The neck is very solid and comfortable. However addtional fret dressing would be a good idea.

 

Finish

Very pretty, and deep (satin cherry). However I was a little disapointed that it states "MODEL" instead of "JUNIOR" on the head stock.... But I'm over it.

 

Sound

Well we all know how the Gibby P-90's sound.

 

 

If I wasnt so intruiged with the JL Junior, I would leave this wonderful guitar alone.

 

IMO for $800 it's a steal of a guitar

I will do before and after photos.

 

This is the first time I have ever hacked up a guitar, and I really hope it comes out like I envision.
