Beatiful guitar there Wez. I think I would hold on to it too for evaluation/fact finding reasons.

The finish is awesome, I quite like the look of Juniors.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes.

The best guitar I have ever played was a 57 junior in sunburst. And with that guitar striking such a chord, I've loved them to bits since.

At the minute I'm quite settled with gear, but I do want a 24.75 scale instrument, this does not help, Wez, not one bit.

That is a mighty fine job, aren't you a bit worried about the headstock shape there Wez?

I guess because I like that guitars finish, I should accept that I like my Goldburst's look too

horse - you need a lapsteel!! ;)

aren't you a bit worried about the headstock shape there Wez?

yes and no, it is subtley different  and i have made sure with the rest of the guitar that it would not be misidentified as a gibson even if it lost its logos ... i couldnt really bring myself to put any other shape up there

Prefer SG juniors normally but that one is quite appealing. Love the play on words name too.

Are the knobs normally that far back? Maybe it' just the angle of the photo but they seem a long way away from the bridge to me.

I have to say that it looks stunning.  Quite a time machine there!  The more important question is how does it sound?  Juniors usually have great sustain and some undefinable extra grit going as well (if I compare my 59 Junior to my 60 Special there is a difference because of the neck pickup cutting into the neck joint I am sure).  The finish looks amazing, really professional and just like the Gibson look.  I'm a big P-90 fan, as you know, so this is just a perfect guitar as far as I am concerned.  Great job once again.
So many pickups, so little time
