I can make you one.

Is Greg the oficinado of juniors? Any thing junior related, he's the expert? Yes?

Hemply · 08-16-2009, 08:00 PM

Never wore Spandex, it was always leather.

Don't recall seeing a factory sunburst DC Jr. they may exist though. My 59 DC Jr. is everything my 69 SG Std. isn't...

MRJ · 08-26-2009, 02:37 PM

Supposedly they do. I know Keith Urban has one, although I don't know the year, or if it's the original finish. Or if it's even a Gibson.

shannon undery · 08-27-2009, 05:04 AM

There's a photo of an original 1961 Sunburst Les Paul Special Doublecut in the Norman's Rare Guitars book. Insanely good condition as well.

Cheers

MRJ · 08-27-2009, 01:28 PM

Thanks!

sean001 · 09-18-2009, 08:03 AM

Here is my ugly betty, 1957Jr. Looks terrible, sounds great. Bought for $300 + $25 for a case in 1988. The finish is like Thompsons Water Seal. I call it deck stain burst. I think the electronics are correct and there are no breaks. If anyone sees anything wrong lemme know please. As pictured, this guitar is sporting the Pigtail and accurate truss rod cover I got recently from Greg. I also put some TonePros on. The Pig + the TonePros was a big improvement.

diceman · 09-18-2009, 09:56 PM

I really want a 50's Junior or Special...

Greg - your Juniors are truly a thing of beauty.

BMS · 09-19-2009, 01:38 AM

Nice vintage out there guys! Here's my '60. It's a players dream.

MRJ · 09-22-2009, 11:36 AM

I did manage to find this picture on Google.

PapaSquash · 09-22-2009, 02:18 PM

I'll throw one in...

Hemply · 09-22-2009, 05:22 PM

Never saw one with the whammy bar!

Cool!

PapaSquash · 09-23-2009, 06:47 AM

The whammy has been there since day one. Not sure if it was installed by the music store or Gibson, but it was on the guitar when my father in law bought it new back in '61. It behaves very well. Willie's American guitars in St Paul says it could be either but suspects the dealer did it, the podium guitars in Minneapolis, says he thinks its factory. I've seen early SGs with that trem but on Juniors I've only ever seem the filled holes.
