The Junior Club...

the tone and volume are definitely versatile for this pickup.

That's great, RVA. I've always really liked fuzzy OD, but rarely been happy with pedals in that space (despite owning many...); what I love about the dogear juniors is that with a bit of amp overdrive you get the lovely smooth fuzzy tone for free in the pickup.

I've posted this picture before, but I don't have any other good ones at the moment. 2009 Gibson Les Paul Junior, with a Tyson Tone '60 Wraptail pickup. I've added knob pointers since the pic was taken.

Not a Junior, but as close as I have at the moment: The Slime



Man, that picture looks huge - sorry...

and it plays YUMM-ILY

 

[Mr Grumpy]

I nearly forgot that PRS I had, I soooooo wanted to like it, love the looks, but it just didn't do it for me, and I couldn't stand the neck:

They are really beautiful guitars though. Needs a dogear P90...

I like it more and more every time I play it. But I can't help wondering: Was it originally a factory second? It is obviously a multi piece body; the "stripe" of lighter mahogany really sticks out. I would have thought that this really would be considered unacceptable by Gibson? Personally I dig it, though. It gives the guitar character.

Interesting the BOLT neck is more than the set neck $$$ wise....not that I prefer 1 over the other --- but --- typically its the other way round

Interesting. I see that its possible to order "custom" versions of anything they offer. Might enquire about a set neck LP Juniour. Try my hand at a new type of project. Maybe an Explorer,,, & an ES type. Cheers

Edit to add: it's a special, not a junior, but I kinda, almost, nearly like it anyway.

I know what would happen if I got one of these lovely marvels of single pickup simplicity.
And it just wouldn't be right.
For the sake of humanity and all that is decent, I must resist.

Cool. I've been going through what is offered on their site & think I've decided. Rather than a junior I think a V, mahogany, set neck, rear control cavity route (no pick guard), tuneomatic/stop bar tailpiece, front & rear binding, ebony 'board with block inlays, still haven't decided on whether to use mahogany or maple for the neck, thoughts on this?? This is the second time I've derailed this thread. Cheers
