Ordered the Junior

[lawrev]

But I do have a question for the newer Junior owners? How hot are those dogear pups? I did measure the P90's in my 56 reissue which is a 2009 model and both neck and bridge pup measure around 7.8k

My 1986 Junior measured 8.95 this past Saturday when I had it reinstalled (and took the Lollar out).

"...Got that midrange growl that I just don't hear on the carved top guitars. Maybe that's just me. "

Nope. Not just you.

Congrats!

Congratulations! I just got a special a week and a half ago, the P90s are glorious indeed!

Hey @dc007 ,

Please try to remember to remove that Snark tuner from the headstock when you're done playing. The cushioning (-don't know what kind of rubber they use) clamp feet will/may muddle up your finish if you leave it on there all the time.

That's a fine example. Enjoy that dog.

Beautiful! Gibson hit it out of the park with the new Juniors.

Likewise; is your guitar stand nitro safe? Otherwise you might end up with some ugly marks on the body where the stand touches.

These are great guitars; I bought mine in February this year, added a few small changes to make it closer to a '57 but apart from an occasional restring it's needed no other work or adjustment. It just plays brilliantly and sounds fantastic.

Thanks.....my guitars live in the case. I am not sure about the stands being nitro safe. Will have to check into that.

Nice!
Are those P90s the cat’s pajamas, or what? So much bark, and they cut so well! I’m addicted to mine.

Here’s one of mine! I’ve been experimenting and this one was a success! Really dig the P90’s but this configuration with a Wolfetone Dr. Vintage is pretty nice.
