New kit!! The lovely Mrs Pepper surprised me with a new kit for my birthday and she chose very well (with a little help, lol).
Juniors have always been my favourite SGs. Something about the minimal, no fuss attitude. Very punk.
Even though my birthday is not until next week, I had a sneaky peek. 'Just to make sure everything was there'. You know how it is...
It's all there and looks pretty damn nice. Neck is a tight fit. No twists or bows. Truss rod rattles when it's loose, but that's no big deal. There were a few scary crack sounds when testing the truss, but it was just the rod breaking free of a little glue and settling in(I hope), it functions well enough.
Open book headstock is pretty cool. A fraction lopsided, but easy to fix. The neck itself hasn't been carved perfectly, a few lumps and bumps left over, but once again, easy enough to remedy. Fretboard is very nicely figured.
Overall, very pleased. Looks great. Will be getting a few upgrades (bridge, pickup and electronics for now) and I really want to accentuate the carves and make it a little closer to proper shape.
Now, back in the box you go... Soon, my pretty.
