antwhi2001 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 An update on my limited edition trans blue Junior. I replaced the tuners and filed the nut slots, also bought some Nut Sauce lube. Put a black plastic cover on the pup, and....added a combined wrap-around and t-o-m bridge. I hadn't seen these before but they can be picked up quite cheaply, and sort out any intonation issues...

BlueEpiphone Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I really like that color. Is it actually more saturated blue than the pictures depict? Well, back to putting my LP Jr. back together. Pictures to follow soon. Just remembered I forgot to solder my pup cover. This is a good time to slow down and take a break. Enjoy your Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copperhead Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Very nice git, you have there where did you get the bridge for it? and what type of tuners did you use? I would like to upgrade my junior. It really needs different tuners for sure. Any part numbers and the company you purchased them from would be appreciated. Thanks, Bob.

brianh Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Bob, if you do a Google search for "Leo Quan wraparound" you will have dozens of purchase options. Here's one: http://www.amazon.com/Badass-Around-Bridge-Adjustable-Saddles/dp/B002M3ODII I don't know what Antwhi used, but these GFS tuners are super cheap and work very well: http://www.guitarfetish.com/Classic-Keystone-Tuners-Chrome-Fits-70s-80s-Les-Pauls_p_171.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antwhi2001 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 The tuners are cheap Asian Grover copies bought on e-bay. I suspect that the stock tuners may have been ok, and my tuning issues may have just been down to the nut. I didn't bother spending much money on these. Part of the motivation to change them was cosmetic, I've fitted black ones to match the rest of the hardware. The stock ones had a firm action and were made by Jinho (stamped underneath), they usually make good cheap tuners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
