Thundergod Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I want 2 LP juniors so bad. The one in light blue and the one with the sunburst finish. They look so c00l and LP juniors are so much fun to play, they just sound right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnastynebr Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Jrs are effin' sweet. My Dad had an early 60s MM that he tricked out with an old Gibby P-90. It sounded super raw and was dope to play. Some fool stole it from a gig in Sioux Falls, SD of all places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 I said I wouldn't buy a Gibson with humbuckers. None of those have humbuckers. This one doesn't have humbuckers either: If you ask me, this is perfection from Gibson. They should put more time into this kind of guitar and less into ten different LP standard style guitars.

Steven Tari Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Thundergod, If you want to get them built your way and can wait. Go to Jay Wolfe and get it built in the old Gibson Factory your way. It might not have the Gibson name but you get a top quality Gutiar Built just for you just like the old Gibsons were built. Not trying to knock any of the youngsters but the Forum crew is more Mature and most of the people I talk to get their guitars built there. Just saying, If you want a Guitar built for yourself check them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dem00n Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 so the MM's and JR's are the same cept for the pup configs? Pretty much, cept the JR has the baked maple and full headstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S t e v e Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Pretty much, cept the JR has the baked maple and full headstock. so we gotta pay almost £400 more for baked maple n full headstock? thanks for the info though B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Sorry but I can't stand the toy-ish body of a MM, NOT the same thickness of a Jr. I want a LP Jr double cutaway with a single P90 but until I understand why those are $1,300 while the single cutaway is much cheaper I will not buy one. Steve, so I see you got your guitar. Have you posted it? I will look up the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve, so I see you got your guitar. Have you posted it? I will look up the thread. No not yet. Expecting it in Febuary. I was just trying to pass on to Thundergod, That buying a guitar from Heritage is buying a Guitar from the old Gibson Factory his way. I figure if I'm going to pay that kinda money I want it my way, ( So my guitar will be the only one like it in the world) Then paying top dollar for a name.I've got some nice Gibson guitars, But I'm steping back where guitars are made the way you want them instead of in a line. From the people I've talked with A lot of Heritage guitars are made for the individgual, Plus after asking how long it would take Gibson to do it and the price. One Year maybe longer and Top dollar. I'll get another Heritage built before I buy another Gibson. Sorry fella's but my heart's been stolen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Good for you but how do you know you will like the guitar if you don't have it yet? Frankly to me the Heritage sales "model" for lack of a better word is just as much hype as any other brand, including Gibson. There is something to be said for the personal attention you get though if that is what you like and if your goal is to have a guitar that no one else has. My Les Paul R8 is at Joe Glaser's shop right now, the neck on it was huge, I am talking massive. I went to Joe's shop to get the neck shaped to my exact liking and after 3 visits for me to try the guitar they got that neck perfect. Exactly what I wanted. Definitely a good experience.

Well a Navy friend has a H535 and H157 Goldtop with P-90's. I said I would never get a LP, but his is sweet and shut me up. Both were beautiful and sounded great. Your right, I don't have mine yet but if it's as nice as his is I'll be very satisfied. Plus I loved his 535 So if I'm as happy with the Millinnum DC as I hope to be , The 535 will be the next one I have built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I am just the anxious type, I have bought guitars online and I have returned three Gibsons for different reasons but I'd be too anxious to order a guitar built from a shop that is not in town. I guess if you know exactly what neck you want on it is no big deal. I was really anxious about taking my R8 to the shop but they did a great job and I was able to work with them closely. I hope this guitar is all you wanted it to be, I don't blame you for looking elsewhere, my last Gibson purchase, an SG had a lot of cosmetic issues.

Riffster I know how you feel, The last guitar, The ES-339 is a beautiful guitar but those 57 hummbuckers don't sound right with any of my songs, I've had it out about a half dozen times to try it with my voice and amps but no doing. So I waited 3 months for that one to be built after the floods but I'll probably have to get rid of it at the same time I get rid of my big Peavey amps. When I was playing on stage the SP-4's are killer because of the 15 in Black Widow's in them, Also the 15" scorpins in the monitors. But it just takes up to much space in my garage. I'm looking at the new BOSE system. Like I said if I'm happy with the new Millinnum DC guitar with my fixens, I'll get the H535 next. I dont know maybe even the H157.

Actually the new ones have the full headstock and that's the only thing I don't like about them LOL. I really like the stripped down flat headstock MMs used to sport.

Steven Tari Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Cool Thundergod, I don.t know if it will work for you, But I was sure suprised how many Brit's and European's are owners of Heritage guitars. They seem to very happy. AS a matter of fact my new friend lives in Turkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
