They're charging $300 for the new Juniors? Are they made from mahogany and not tonewood this time around? Sinking feeling setting in.

andrewjunior Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I bought a new Epi LP JR and modded it. got a kent armstrong p-90 (hum retrofit), kluson vintage style tuners, amber speed knobs, upgraded tone and vol pots. also i've done quite a bit of aging to the guitar. yes, i know that i should just play the thing for thirty years so it'll age itself, but some of us like to have the aged look now rather than later. i'll post pics asap.... there's none on my office computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianh Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 My new (to me) '57 RI set-neck bone stock, and little bolt-on sister "Black Friday" plywood Jr. with Gibson P94, LQ bridge, Gotoh tuners, rewired, and Graphtech nut installed. Both sound great, but the RI plays better... I need to sand down and refinish the back of the neck on the Black Friday: The '57 is 1-7/8" thick, and Black Friday is 1-5/8": Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's far nicer than I thought it would be, I'm afraid to ruin it. If I rout any guitar in the near future it'll be Black Friday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianh Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Hey Duane, remind me again which CC brand/model you used. How do you like it? And what made you choose that one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane v Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I went with a recommendation from a forum member here. Then I spoke to Pete at VintageVibeGuitar, and told him I was looking for a sound that had the Faces Maggie May lead tone, and he straight up nailed it.:) Pete has my 75 Gibson PAF that he's doing a custom rewind, and Curtis Novak has my 65 Gibson single coil MM pup that also getting a custom re-wind......... Both pups will be installed in my Joan Jet MM... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianh Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Here's a sound demo of my VVG CC Rider Charlie Christian neck pup' date=' plugged stright to the mixing board with no effects[YOUTUBE'] [/YOUTUBE] That's the sound alright, nice to hear the clip again, thanks for posting. Was the V.V. CC Rider specially wound, or just a standard BWB? Also, I seem to remember that you routed the PUP cavity through to the back (like JL's). Is that really necessary? The CC Riders at V.V. seem to be shallow enough to avoid it - 0.85". The plywood Jr. I have is 1-5/8" and the '57 RI is 1-7/8" thick, so theoretically there would be enough meat left over to maintain a fair amount of rigidity.

brianh Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Yeah, I esp like the tuners. I shoulda done that to Black Friday but was in a hurry and had the Gotohs laying around.

Thanks, Brian[/quote'] Brian sorry for not answering all your questions last night... the Gibby forum went kapoot last night... You have plenty of meat on your guitar to do the Lollar or VVG CC pups..... My wind was a custom request.... Tell Pete what you want and he will hit it.
