FS: MIJ Epiphone Les Paul Junior "Lacquer Series" w/upgrades!!!!!

needlespauls · 05-07-2009, 11:08 PM

This is a 2006 Epiphone Les Paul Junior made in Japan "Lacquer Series". Vintage Sunburst, one-piece quarter-sawn african mahogany neck with correct headstock angle, long-neck tenon, original style neck pocket surrounding each side of neck, Gibson open-book headstock, solid african mahogany body with no weight relief (yet only weighs in @ around 6.5lbs!!!), nitro/lacquer type blend of finish, P90 pickup, wraparound tailpiece, volume and tone knob.

The original Japanese pickup was replaced by the original owner with a Lollar P90, as well as a full RS wiring and electronics kit. Copper shielding tape was put in the control cavity and the pickup cavity as well.

*This is the absolute loudest guitar I've ever played, both in its resonance unplugged, and plugged in this guitar just RIPS!!! This is also the most responsive guitar to its controls that I've ever experienced, and will now set the bar for which I hope to achieve with the controls with all guitars I own in the future.
The guitar is in near mint condition, and is a truly amazing player. This Junior is not just "good for the money", its at the level of instruments 2-3 times its price.
Try finding one of these babies in this condition and with these upgrades out there. Only a handfull are available at any given time, and only by chance as these fine guitars were discontinued in 2006.
*Like most of you other guitar freaks out there, I am gassing for something out there and in impulse I'm letting this one go. LOL, and I'm sure I'll look for another one of these in the future in hindsite, and won't be able to find one as sweet or for the same price as this.
The price is $699 shipped CONUS only at this price. Here's some pics..........

Oh, the last pic is its true finish color. The flash (whoops) brings out bright deep colors. The last pic is the exact natural color.
