New Melody Maker (joins my other one)

I have owned a 2008 RI Melody Maker for a while now and love it. Lightweight, chunky neck, easy to play, and very responsive controls.

 

I have been on the lookout for an LP Jnr to augment this, but have found the prices to be a bit out of my reach and hard to justify spending.

 

Then I found this one on a listing site in the Uk for a great price. Haggled a bit and finally got it for a really really low price.

Got it, put a new nut on, strung it with 11s and enjoyed it. Nice neck, not quite as chunky as my other MM but not far off. Lovely Gibby P90, again lightweight, and has a great sound that cuts through the mix. Again it has such responsive controls too.

Did a tiny bit more work on it the other day, adding a nice LP Jnr pickguard and new knobs

I reckon I have got about 90% of a Junior for about 1/3 off the price!!

Badass!!!! I want one with a P90, but i'll settle for my 07 RI. I put in a JB junior Pup, and carved a new Iboney nut and this guitar sounds awesome!!!!! I also did the switcharoo with witch hat knobs.
