Here's the guitar I really want.

You've said it yourself - it the guitar you REALLY want. Screw practical, give in to your feelings, 'feel' the power of force... (etc.) UNLIMITED POWER!!! (ok, I'll stop it there, lol).

Gibson juniors are just SEXY and with the single pickup they have so much resonance because of the reduced string pull.

Try to get a setup/fretjob in with the price of the guitar, or at least work a deal on it.

:twisted:

It's got some nice (although simulated) battle scars, as if it fell off the back of the band's van and was run over by a VW bug or something!

I think I'll stick with a New Old Stock (NOS) SG Jr!

Gorgeous - my heart is saying "get it if it stays cheap" but my head is saying "you've already got a LP junior".

Must admit, I do love single P90 Les Pauls and SGs but for some reason the twin P90 Gibsons don't do anything for me.

Me neither, they don't look right. This is making me want a white SG jnr now, with the old style pickguard

but Jake E Lee looks so cool with them

Did you click on the YouTube video link I posted earlier in this thread?

The guitarist was playing a white '64 SG Jr with the old-style pickguard and an apparently non-operative tremolo/vibrato thingy. He also had a (50 watt?) Marshall head and 4x12 cabinet, and the "all" part of "Marshall" had broken off, leaving just "Marsh".

After seeing THAT axe in action, I wanted to get a vintage white SG Jr, too. (Alas, it would cost $4K-$5K to satiate that thirst...)

I like the look of single-cutaway LP Specials a lot - but not the double-cutaway version, the pickups are too close together and the control layout looks wrong somehow.

But soundwise, I think P-90s work best in single-pickup guitars - so simple and they make you work to get different tones! In twin P-90 guitars you think you've got more versatility, but the pickups always seem to sound too similar to each other (IMO).

Agree on the 1 pickup P90, still you have to consider if it will work well with the effects you use, some P90's dont work very well with effects at stage volume, or at least i think so. I am really sceptic about how a P90 will react to the TT gain aswell.

I only have an old semi with dogear, and obviously i dont want any effects on that and i also would not consider playing it on stage.

You pretty much would need one helluva top notch P90 IMVHO.
