Why every guitarist should own a Gibson Les Paul jr - Single-pickups and why we love them so much!

[@mattd1142]

Greatest guitar ever made

[@tito.tarantula]

The gritty tone & feel of the Junior is just amazing. I tune mine down to Eb Standard and it not only plays like butter, that rich warm tone is even richer and warmer.

[@metro2673]

I love my junior. I find myself able to play anything on it. Volume at 7 tone at 4 is a beautiful clean almost neck vibe. 8 and 8 is great for acoustic vibe chords. And then volume at 10 is just gritty madness great with tone or without it. I dont reach for any other guitars just my LP junior.

[@cheddermikey4893]

Good video. I'm totally on the LP jr train. Most basic new production I think Gibson makes. It's become my fav as there's so many tonal varieties with 2 knobs. And the growl. Now to get my hands on a vintage one💸💸💸

I freaking love this channel. This dude would be so fun to jam wi

Single bridge PU guitars are great with flatwounds, too - rolling the tone off and playing closer (if not over) the neck with flatwounds makes for a nice alternative to a typical neck PU tone.

A couple weeks ago I picked up a 2004 Gibson Melody Maker. Very similar to the Jr but without a pick guard and for 2003-2004 Gibson decided to be overly nice (at the price range) and put in a tune-o-matic bridge. I'm sold on the Melody Makers and Les Paul Jrs. I've never felt more like "oh shit, this is MY guitar." Just a chunk of wood with a drilled in P90... That plus a responsive tube amp and maybe a few pedals. DONE. It's great.

[@jaycee1373]

Had one. Regret selling it. :-(

I agree! ALL Gibson guitars give (especially new) players the opportunity to improve their ear training.

I found a ( Baldwin ) Maestro Les Paul Jr. by Gibson ( with a Gibson headstock ) in a thrift shop $100 . Reamed the holes , installed Hip Shot locking tuners $ 85 , Tusq nut $12 , ToneRider Rebel 90 ( Humbucker sized P90 ) $50 , new volume/tone pots and caps $35 . Fender Pro Jr. IV tweed new amp $600 . Totaling $875ish And with the rest of the $ 5,400 left over , I payed 6 months principal on my mortgage 🤣 . Nice Murphy Lab TV Yellow indeed , but my Maestro rocks 👍.

[@garretazonsa]

That's how I like to do it as well. Get a cheap junior/special and upgrade and mod the hell out of it. It's more fun that way. Nice score and upgrades on the Maestro!

[@capnjames]

Just recently got that same maestro in that beautiful off white color for $20 on fb marketplace and I cleaned it up gave it a decent set up, but I think I need to replace the bridge perhaps, it doesn’t intonate very well, but feels comfortable and sounds way better than I expected. How’s the humbucker sized p90 sound

[@titi64230]

Beautifull cars , nice shoes , great les paul jr and seiko skx !

[@trashcat1031]

That Falcon 20 sounded good for the Green Day tone you played. Did you use any pedals or is that just the amp?

[@waltgracevintage8620]

Only the amp!

[@rohnleidigh213]

I'd take the Esquire

[@theuserthatishere]

i just don't believe one can hear a difference in the bridge pick up if there is also a neck pick up not in use. single pup looks cooler though

[@picksalot1]

Single Pickup guitars rule.

[@jeremydowell1406]

Good video

[@andrewclemons8619]

Thats the 1st time ive heard that amp sound good

[@tylerthompson1842]

I am the passenger

[@AL_KING777]

Getchu an epiphone coronet, and put a SD p90 in

[@martinclayton7260]

If i could afford to get any more guitars, i would get one, but I'd have it made for me, and not by a Gibson!

[@TheRixstar]

I ordered one from vintage proshop

[@Mike_D_5150]

Why?!

[@Panic42000]

I have this same junior guitar and the double cut version. They are worth every dollar.
