Argyle Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Hey, I saw one of these on Craigslist the other day and I was wondering; is this rare? I haven't seen too many of these. If anything, they have the ridiculous humbuckers nowadays. Would it be worth it to buy it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SketchyEtchy Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Hey welcome to the forum, erm ive seen a few sg juniors but mainly seen them on ebay uk, but other members in different areas might have. How much is it going for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argyle Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 Thanks! It's being sold for $50 with an amp. Seems like a pretty good deal (especially if I would buy it and then sell it for a much higher profit). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SketchyEtchy Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 well the ones ive seen on ebay have been going for about £150-£250, so dont know how much that would be in $. Id say get it it seems a bargain. But thats just me. What kind of condition is it in? Whats the amp by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argyle Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 Seems to be in a good condition (probably better than my SG haha). I can't tell what type of amplifier it is but here's the picture: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SketchyEtchy Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 yea i would listen to deflepfan., what colour is it? I want an sg junior to go with my LP junior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peeper Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Its a garbage Kustom amp, but for $50, buy the damn thing already. If you don't like it I'm sure you could resell for at least $75 and make a couple bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argyle Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 yea i would listen to deflepfan.' date=' what colour is it? I want an sg junior to go with my LP junior[/quote']It's cherry. Not sure about the specific cherry color though. I will-as soon as I get a hold of the seller, I'm definitely buying this. The amplifier, I know, won't be as great as my G-DEC but I can just give that away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with the LP-shaped Epi Jrs. there were bolt-on and set-neck verisions. I'd expect the guitar in questions is not a set-net, it's a plywood body bolt on, and will have some fret-end issues and a very inexpensive P90. If it's a set-neck, that's a real steal. But for $50 who cares? It's a perfect knock around or mod platform... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've yet to see it in person but it is a steal so regardless of whether or not it's a set neck, I'd buy it as long as it's in working condition.

anfontan Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 If you don't have a guitar with P-90s it would probably be a good guitar to get at that price. I have a Melody Maker with a single P-90 and it's great-nice and chimey when played clean and screams when it's cranked up. Here's a picture of the MM.........

Argyle Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 Awesome! I got an e-mail back and it's a bolt-on. I'm still buying it though a set neck would've been sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argyle Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 I asked the guy to hold it for me until next week but he says he can't make any promises. Turns out he works until late in the day and gets out, of course, when I'm not available. lol I'll see what I can do sometime this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad1 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Could you not ask to put a deposit down till next week? Most on Craig's list want cash in hand. How do you put a deposit down if you can not meet the guy?????????????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewjunior Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 dunno if this has been said or not, but in response to the first post, i firmly believe that for 50 bucks, a p90 sg jr is more than worth it. one of my favorite local bands has a p90 sg and it sounds great. they play really cool bluesy country so on clean it sounds nice and twangy and bright, and then with a little dirt and drive it has enough punch to really get the point across.... if you don't mind me asking, where in the country are you? i'm in utah and our craigslist sucks rocks when it comes to instruments.

ken361 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 epi's p90's just as good as gibsons? well sorta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianh Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 epi's p90's just as good as gibsons? well sorta? Not likely - real Gibson P90s are quality pickups and go for around $85 new, almost as much as a whole bolt-on Jr. costs. Plus Epi installs different pickups for different price point guitars. The P90s in a bolt-on Jr. are most likely the cheapest they could get away with in a $100 guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
