Epiphone Les Paul Junior Limited Edition?

[Plymouth58]

I'm about to buy a new Epiphone Les Paul Junior. But I would like some information about these.

I noticed they are not in the catalog or on the website. What's the story behind these Limited Edition Juniors?

Anyone have some specs (pickup, wood material)?

 

I'm either getting the Alpine White one or the Satin Black.

Dunno about the white one, it looks like a normal Jr.

 

The black one is called Pitch Black, and in addition to the matte finish has a (imo) better shaped pickguard, bit more aggressive.Otherwise they are basically Special-IIs without a neck pickup (probably plywood, 700t (or whatever) pickup.) I'm keen to get one soon since they are pretty cool, and I have a spare Gibson Dirty Fingers lying around. 

 

And I don't think they're *that* limited, the Pitch Black model has been for sale here for 2 or 3 years.

The black one looks downright sexy. I always liked matte finishes than the shiny ones :D

 

 

 

In any case, its a Epiphone Junior, a good guitar, no matter the way you look at it.

I would however, change the tuners if you get one. The stock tuners on the Epi Les Paul Jrs are crap. Get yourself a set of grovers and you'll be okay. I have a Junior with the Silver finish that I bought used over 3 years ago, and even though the stock pickup sounded great, it would not stay in tune, so I ended up putting in a set of Grovers and a Bad *** Bridge with individual saddles.

I looked at some of the upgrades I could do on this guitar and came to the conclusion it might be better to go for a LP standard instead ;)

The total price with upgrades comes close to a standard which is still a better instrument imo.

I'll post pictures when I pull the trigger.

Have you tried the Studio Deluxe? Those are the ones with the Block Inlays and vintage style tuners. I have and they're awesome and not as expensive as a LP standard.

The Studio Deluxes look indeed like a great deal. But it looks like not a lot of European stores sell them. I've got my mind set on one of the white standards with maple fretboard.
