Thread: Finished LP Junior Double Cut

  1. #1

    The plague of locusts kids haven't arrived yet, so I thought I would take this opportunity:

    Mahogany body, Mahogany neck, not a kit.
    Custom Wudtone colour (thank you Andy for your immense help with this one)
    Push-Pull on the tone pot to bypass the tone control; pre-contact cleaned alpha pots. Orange Drop tone cap.
    Badass intonatable bridge (since just about every other wrap-around bridge isn't adjustable);
    "Santana" brass block under the bridge (increases transfer to the body. It doesn't hurt);
    Bullet Coily lead;
    Marvel straplocks with my signature checkerboard strap;
    Spec-wound P90 pickup of secret parentage. I got the paperwork out, and it reads 12.1K, which in P-90 land is a brute. It is also a flexible pickup, with a wide range of tone available;
    Copper shielded;
    Black scratchguard and cavity cover material off eBay. I was going to do red tortoise, but the black was good enough.
    TUSQ nut, set up for BFTS;
    18:1 vintage tuning machines;
    Strung with .09-.46 Heavy Tops;

    and it sounds awesome. I will re-intonate in a week or so. That allows it to settle as there are now a different set of tensions working on the body. In a week's time it will be amazingly out of tune.

    I'm sure I've forgotten something.

    Wow! I'm so glad you finished this guitar, it's turned out just beautifully. Tv yellow is the perfect finish for a junior.

    apologies if this is a duplicate post - does anyone know if this style is available in kit form anywhere?

    Bodders we've got some single cutaway Juniors on order, due in February. I don't think they do this double cutaway, but we can certainly order to spec if there's enough interest.
    Cheers,
