brianh Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 A guy nearby has what he is calling a "Les Paul Jr. 12-String". Here's the crappy pic (nice huh?): Is there such an animal? Could it possibly be worth anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkuss Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 What brand is it? Doesn't look like an Epi headstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 They'll build anything in China! ;>) LOL! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianh Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 Nevermind, it's an Epi body, aftermarket neck and a "Mostrite" PUP. I've got better things to spend $75 on. Oh well, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Epiphone did build a Les Paul 12-string, based on the LP Standard-plus, body...with a trapeze tailpiece. But, I've never seen a legit LP Junior 12-string (Epiphone or Gibson) before. Not that it's not "possible" (I haven't seen everything Epi or Gibson has built, production or special order, so...??? I guess anything's possible. Having said that, I doubt it's American made...most likely an Asain idea. Might be kind of "cool," if it's well constructed, intonates correctly, and has decent low action. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Sorry' date=' i was just taking the piss. thanks for the pic though. Looks nice![/quote'] No problem Claruss...hope everything came out, alright?! ;>) I've always wondered what those LP 12-strings sounded like. Thought maybe the Humbuckers were too "hot" for a 12-string, but maybe not? The Riviera 12's, with the mini-hummers are NICE! So...??? Maybe someone here, that has a LP 12, can let us know?

matiac Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Hey, uh...Clarkuss? Little more information than I needed (as I crack up and shower coffee all over my keyboard). Hey Chuck, bet someone took a Jr. body, and stuck that neck on, I've seen stranger things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkuss Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 haha. the olde english vernacular! what's the american equivalent? I've never heard or played a riviera 12 but don't some of the gretsches and ricks come with high gain pups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matiac Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Actually Clarkuss, there's a few variations, take a leak, water a tree, mess up the toilet seat, take a whizz, or, as my son says, "go potty?". It looks like one of those aftermarket necks you see on that abomination of an auction site all the time. The peghead almost looks like the old Hondo heads...did they make a 12 string guitar with a bolt neck???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianh Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 haha. the olde english vernacular! what's the american equivalent? Doesn't "taking the piss" mean mocking a person by exagertion/imitation? That's fine, I'm used to it. In my house that's a form of endearment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matiac Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 taking the piss = to make fun of Ah, and here I thought you were relieving yourself. In THAT context, again, a few: Bustin' yer balls Bustin' yer chops Messin' or simply, making fun of you. Sorry for the mis-interpretation. :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stig Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 haha. the olde english vernacular! what's the american equivalent? That would be "Banging your wife." Next time you're in America, and some big, tough guy takes offense because he misunderstood something you said, just say "Oi, guv'nor! I'm banging your wife!" Then, everything will be just fine.

wrighty3693 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 "Taking the piss" can be any sorts of things sarcasm, irony or mockery. It goes along the same terms as saying your joshing with someone. That's what the English venacular translates taking the piss to. Hope that helps guys. Wrighty2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
