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?

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.

There is really no reason gibson charge 1599 for that guitar, the junior should be the ultimate sub 1k american made guitar

Now you've gone and done it. I want an Epiphone Les Paul Jr with a P90. I dunno how you pull off those sustain notes... I'm trying to riff some off on the Reverend HPP put haven't figured it out yet. Great playing again!

Cheers!... you may need to unsubscribe as I plan to keep rolling out guitars you are gonna need! :) The fixed wraparound bridge on old skool Juniors helps the tone on these things... whatever people may say about them they are killer and with added P90 it's pure rock n roll heaven! Thanks as usual for supporting the channel! :)

@@theguitaristas hahahaha, never gonna unsubscribe! I'll just have to work harder and support my guitar collection. P90's are a marvelous musical invention.

Cheap prices are not all that amazing when you consider the wages paid in China. Plus the lack of essentially any OSHA/environmental regulations. I'm not getting political, just stating the truth.

Hey young man ..Help me on this one...Why do you and 99% of you tube reviewers mention every aspect of a guitar in great detail ..but..never mention the actual weight ?! .. it’s not like a hand scale is a big investment . 😎🎸

Cheers Ed, you say 'you and..' so I am wondering did you notice I was the 1% that actually weighed it?... I quickly discovered that my guitar weight guessing skills were no match for the correct equipment! 👍🎸😎

Appropriate riff, to demo a Junior. Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner used Juniors, on Lou Reeds live album, Rock and Roll Animal, track, Sweet Jane.

hey man, Nice demo ! P90s should be under Websters for " Articulate " /ärˈtikyələt/
