Here's a phonecam picture of the more beaten up of the two guitars from the VG article. I can't stop staring at it.

does it say where the guitars where found.   that one looks like its been in a damp attic or shed to me, although the hardware doesnt look to be in too bad condition

nice though

One in Missouri, one in California as far as I can tell from the piece. The pic I posted is of the more beaten up one which was acquired from a band in Arkansas in the '70s apparently by the previous owner who sold it to David Hinson.

I'm surprised the tortoiseshell shows up so well over a black guitar, assuming the scratchplate's the normal single-layer translucent type.  Maybe they put a layer of something else underneath?

I've never owned a single P-90 Junior.  I'll have to try one out sometime...

Dammit, where were you when I was selling my Juniors a few months ago and getting rubbish money for them?  :evil:


Just kidding.  :lol:


They weren't Gibsons, either, just various MIJ copies.

I was really tempted by your juniors when they where up for sale, Philly, but I really had strat GAS at that moment. Now that I have taken care of the strat affair the juniors are creeping back in. If you ever decide to sell some more (I'm pretty sure you got some) I'll be interested for sure  :D

Still got three, but only one's a selling possibility.  :)
