DirtySteve Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Hey guys, I recently picked up a Junior that came loaded with a Humbucker with a tone control coil split. Ive read that the pickup is a 498T but that is all Ive found out about it. Can anyone give me anymore spec.s on it? I havent found anything on line. Here are the things I'd like to know... Was it made in Tennessee? It says made in usa. Neck profile? Are these good tuners? Should I relace the nut with bone? This one looks like a plastic nut. How are the electronics on these? Pickup, I can't help but wonder what a SD P-Rails would be like in it? This pickup is hot hot hot! Bridge? Should I think about an upgrade? Aluminum? Did I miss anything? ha ha! :) Hear are some pics… Any info (or directions to some) would be awesome! For the record, …this baby flat out Rocks! Thanks, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Steve Then why change a thing? bucker and single coil tones out of that thing ROCK I played one at my local guitar center and was baffled by the quality and sound. nut: try tusq if you MUST change it bridge: tone pros aluminum vintage reissue wrap around, or the AVTIIG Tuners: those are classic junior tuners. the green klusson style would look good tho pickup: KEEP IT. Youd be down-grading with anything else. Roll back the vol if its tooooooooooooo hot. I want one, but i want the explorer and V melody makers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want one, but i want the explorer and V melody makers Oh, it's not tooooooo hot, I just would like it to clean up a little bit more than it does is all. I just threw that out there. I haven't decided for sure I want to change anything! I just wanted some thoughts. I've been intrigued by the P-Rails though and thought it might be more versitile and I'd have a p-90 option. I'm mainly intersted in the spec.s, but the fact that it was only $700 made me think it could be improved upon. I love it as is and I'm not changing anything unless I'm sure it will be an improvement. This is the funnest guitar I've ever owned!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too bad, but I missed the Presidents Day sale so I paid a little more for it. Once I played it I didn't care about the extra cash anymore!
