I just picked up one of these bad boys! Love the baseball bat neck . It’s a slab of mahogany , nice fretting solid built good hardware. You really can’t go wrong with this one. This is Epiphone s guitar for the people. This would be a great guitar to start a collection with.

Got one of these when they first released. Spot on review! It does everything a proper Junior should do. Fat neck, fat P90 tone, just pure rock n' roll! I did use a Lollar P90 shim to raise the pickup a little bit and found the sweet spot. Also got the 2020 Epiphone Special and that guitar is awesome as well. Now I just need Epiphone to make a double cutaway model!

Thanks for an excellent review! After watching a few reviews of this guitar, yours was the one that convinced me to buy one. My volume pot did not work like yours unfortunately, (Feb '21 model), but after countless guitar rewires and amp builds over the years I have come to the realisation that cts pot tapers are highly inconsistent, I replaced mine with a linear taper and it works through the whole range very nicely now, and whilst I was in there I pulled the cheapo brown .022 "greencap" and put in a nice juicy P.I.O. .033 cap and now it's perfect for my tone taste. I did change the bridge for a Wilkinson with adjustment just because I happened to have one spare, but it made it buzz and didn't feel as good under the hand so off with that and back to the stock bridge. The intonation with the stock bridge is perfect on mine anyway, and feels fine under the hand. I was pleasantly surprised to see that my example only has a 2 piece body joined in the middle under the veneers, nicely flat sawn, so great sound transference and very resonant. All in all I think they are a great value for $$ guitar that you don't need to be precious about and can really let go and hook in. The neck is better than the standard Epiphone D shape but still has a bit of D going on, I prefer the roundness of the Gibson version. How does this neck compare to the tv yellow Epi special neck? Thanks again my friend. Cheers from a happy new Epi Jnr. player. ;)

Hey Stevie, nice one man! I guess you are right about inconsistent pots but glad you got that dialled in nicely in the end. I haven’t felt need to change anything on mine yet but may do in future.... did you check out the 4 way p90 shoot out I posted this week? Careful though you may end up wanting another! Re the necks... the neck on the yellow LP Special is fatter, that’s assuming your junior is same as mine of course which it should be I guess? Anyway cheers man thanks for the support catch you later! 😎👍🎸

Great vid! I have the same Epi LPJ, it's incredible and now my favourite! But I was surprised at the height of the strings above the P90, I could get my finger in mine and it looks the same on your vid. Then I discovered Gibson say it should be 3/64" so mine was way out! However, you can get shims, they're the same colour and profile as the P90 so not noticeable .I got a set and raised the P90 to the right height, there's an obvious increase in volume and a slight improvement tone.

Acoustic guitar background - love the feel of the wraparound bridge. I simply dropped the 2nd and 3rd string down to a thinner gauge and intonation is spot on. Replaced the machines with Grovers and may change the electronics. Aesthetically the pickguard and veneers don't appeal. A 3-4 piece body isn't a bad thing; the saved $ going sans pickguard and veneers may pay for better quality wood. As always, a thorough and entertaining review by Colin.

I’ve got to put my oar in as regards poly and nitro cellulose nitro is much harder to work with if you have faults like scratches as poly has a hardener that makes it go off quickly and once it’s gone hard polishing can be very hard where as cellulose is normally air dry and it’s never truly hard so it’s way easier to polish.

Cheers for this, but Nitro can be polished out properly right if you put the time and right materials into it? 🎸✌️

A bit… I think the neck is nicer and personally I prefer the colour on the BJ. It also has a fabulous hard case. I think the Billie Joe version which is on discount offer everywhere right now is one of the best value guitars out there today. Mine features in this weeks forthcoming video 🔥👍
