Malchik Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 http://www.wildwoodguitars.com/products/126911428.php?CategoryID=57&n=22 Here they are, and they are, for the most part, well represented. The control routing, pot positions, and tuning keys are off, but it looks pretty good. Oh, and, of course, the maple fretboard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malchik Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Very desirable.... UK luthier Gordon Smith makes something similar.... V Yeah, he makes good guitars for what I've heard. You get a guitar custom built for you at about the same price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pips Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I'm interested in this guitar - always loved juniors, will they be available in the UK, I can't find anything on the site about them. I've also heard there is going to be a reasonably priced special comming out soon, can anybody confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MF still has some gloss batwing SG specials (classics) for $999,00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm lucky to a have 61 CS re-issue, I really want a single pup P90 guitar ideally a junior or special, the juniors are appearing at Wildwood, but nothing so far in the UK. That said a reasonably priced single pup special would be great, I've heard a rumour over on the telecaster forum that they will be annouced soon. But why nothing on the gibson site about the single cut specials that are available in the US at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 The Gibson website might work four days out of the week for me. I find Wildwood seems to get new models weeks before Gibson announces. The Les Paul Classic is available through Wildwood, but are unavailable through Musician's Friend until December. Also, I'm jealous for your SG CS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malchik - good to shoot the breeze - I've just posted a picture on the show us yours thread, I had to sell a beauty but the special is just gr8! Anyway let's just hope some of these juniors get across to the UK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob311 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 They are also available in black - my preference :) http://www.wildwoodguitars.com/products/127410359.php?CategoryID=10&n=14 Really beautiful I was waiting for that since a long time. This is really a beautiful p90 guitars. Wraparound bridge, shinny finish. The fretboard is baked maple but I'm surprise that this one is pretty dark. Very beautiful, neck is still from Mahogany.

Malchik Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 The only thing that irritates me is how lazy they were with the routing/pot placement. They went out of their way to give it a dogear P-90 and slanted wraparound, but copped-out at the controls. Minor knit-pick, I know, but they were so close to making it a true 60's reissue.

First thing I noticed. It's not like the original placement isn't the normal placement of the bridge position controls on a normal SG, right?

It's not like the original placement isn't the normal placement of the bridge position controls on a normal SG, right? They gave it a standard's control rout with the Les Paul Junior's control placement, it seems. I'm guessing they didn't want to modify the CNC machine's SG control routing scheme.

Right, the volume controls is near the pickguard. That's not an "exact" reproduction for sure. However I like it a lot. The slanted wraparound bridge, the small pickguard and the finish make all the difference (positively) if I compare with their other p90 guitars. But that's my opinion. This guitar is not so expensive. I'm really anxious to try one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 You know, they probably kept to such loose specs so they can possibly introduce a VOS version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
