Gibson double cut 'tribute'.

[RVA]

My oversight for sure . . . I finished the neck in clear Nitro Lacquer with a few drops of Vintage Amber tint added.
Body was done by Warmoth.

So, I gotta ask...

This new DC tribute model...what is it a tribute to?

 

[67plexi]

I thinking to pull the trigger on the Precision guitar kits 58 DCJR. Custom. What I like Korina body and neck Ebony fingerboard soapbar P90
What I don't like is the Gumby headstock and the truss rod route. The paddle headstock is 6.7" it should be 7" that's the deal killer for me.

What I want is a new Ludwig Maple Mod Orange drum set 20" BD 12" rack tom 14" floor tom they will be in stock next month.

The truth I have more guitars than I can play in my life time.

Just a quick question: Why did they cut out a pickup space under a dogear? Is it as simple as just enabling either

The actual pickup is much deeper than the dogear cover. A properly routed cavity for a dogear style P90 will be longer and narrower than a cavity for a soapbar style.

 

[Mr Grumpy]

^ thanks, Sysco - I've never taken a dogear off, so just wasn't sure. I did think it wasn't wide enough for a soapbar, but thought that could be an illusion in the image...

Schaller make a new one, functional and beautiful - actually my choice for the SG if i did not have the 455 lying around for a few decades:

Yes, that is nice; good compromise. I've had a Schaller bridge on an SG before and was very happy with it, they seem to make excellent products.

I made an offer on this see what happens PRICE CUT! 2001 Gibson LP JR gloss WIDE NECK Sunburst Single Cut Nice shape! | eBay

2001 it should be good wood

 

[67plexi]

I got the single cut LP JR 2001 Why when I started playing electric guitar I played one way better than the Kay guitar I owned. And it's cheaper than building one and it's a USA made Gibson.

Good score plexi.

 

[67plexi]

Thank you Don. The seller told me the reason he sold it is the neck is to big. My favorite. Very little play time. No extra work needed.

Too big as in in too thick, or too wide? I’m a wide thin fan myself.

 

[67plexi]

From my understanding it's a wide neck made only in 2001-2002 black back as the LP JR fan's call it.
It's new to me I have only played a 1956 LP JR. Will see when I get it.
