Nice.

I have added it to my watch list.

Glad to hear you liked it! I'm happy I was able to help. If you would like, I can search for more models. Although I must admit, I don't think there will be any under $1,000. I'm willing to try though.

I can see a good ball park in which to be looking.

I have a Tokai on my watch list, too. It is in a very similar price range. (actually, it is on tgp, not reverb, but still watching).

It also gives me plenty to think about as I am on the lookout for a couple of different options in the $1k to $2k range. ~$800 is easier to justify than ~$1500.

I did just score a new (to me) guitar earlier this month, though, so I am probably sitting tight until an offer I can't refuse presents itself.

Thanks for your help and guidance.

If you are going higher end price and specs, Tokai is a good bet straight from Japan IMO.

Hey guys! I was hoping more people would use this thread but I guess my idea failed. Maybe we can get a mod to sticky the thread? I dunno what do you guys think?

Hey guys,

Looking for a nitro/lacquer finished double cut Junior in tv yellow. Strongly prefer an open book headstock shape and a medium/59 profile as opposed to a baseball bat. Bigger frets is a plus - cool premiums like Honduran mahogany or whatever is a plus too, but not necessary. Brazilian board and hide glue neck joint would be excellent.

Budget is pretty flexible - I need to retire my original 58 dc because it just makes me anxious to take out of the house these days. It would ideally not cost anywhere near a CS option from Gibson for a similar guitar.

Since some of you are so savvy on digging these up, I am open to providing a finders fee for the right piece.

I'd think Edwards or Bacchus/Deviser for something similar to what you'd need. A good gigging guitar and if necessary a club for drunks. For a Braz board you might have to look harder. For a neck you want you'd have to ask what years have what.

Nothing but an 88 Greco with an added abr out there right now by the looks of it. Some super inflated examples but at that point I could grab an equivalent Gibson.

Always appreciate your feedback!

Yeah Bacchus did a run of these but not sure of the neck size. Bacchus necks can often be notoriously huge.

I'd ask around about one like this. No affiliation, fair price against a Gibson.

Edwards E-JR-90LT/DC 2014 TV yellow | Reverb

Perfect playing and sounding Edwards Doublecut LP Junior in TV yellow finish with Nitro overcoat. Current pickup is a David Allen P90, but I can out a Tyson Tone in our the stock Seymour Duncan back in it if you prefer. Guitar is light, very light, and has great attention to detail.&n...
