Charlie Starr would agree. He bought his Gibson Les Paul junior in 1990s and the previous owner was the guitarist from the Georgia Satellites. He bought it for 600$ from a guitar shop and it's still his #1 guitar to this day. Guitars are really expensive now. I might pull the trigger on a black junior, I'd like to own one.

@jeanluc1313 3 года назад

Yep. A bit more than 10 years ago, but In 2008 -2009 (maybe even later) a new Gibson LP Faded or faded V could be had for 799.99, and a Studio for a grand.

@johnmacdonald3649 Год назад

Ya know these days there is no such thing as a bad guitar. If you walk into a Guitar Center or in Canada a Long and McQuade you can drop $200 bucks or $2000 bucks you're going to get a very playable instrument. And as a bonus the cheaper guitars are a blast to mod and customize. I've been an epiphone fan for 30 years now and they never let me down. So when I saw this particular JR model at my local LnM I a/b'd it against the Gibson. And of course I went with the Epi and saved myself $1200 bucks. Epi's are for players. Gibson's are for collectors.

@oyhe94 3 года назад

The quick connect on the pickup wire probably means that there is no soldering done within the guitar itself, reducing the chances of burning the finish. The pots, ground wire and jack are probably soldered together from template outside of the guitar, then dropped into the control cavity and the pickup is connected at the end.

@clarkbabin9799 3 года назад

I bought a metallic gold top standard with coil split at both pickups a couple months back. I did have to lower the action a little but other than that I pretty much haven't done anything but fine tune it. Plays great and loving it. So much so that since I cant seem to find one in a dark blue metallic dust finish I've ordered a kit and with the guidance of a friend who I know that builds I will have that one to add in my collection.

@gobinstruments4597 3 года назад

The one I bought is awesome! One problem I seem to find with this one and some of the other new Epiphones are the Nuts. The action on the one I have was way too high at the nut. Easy fix to file down the nut slots. Also, Intonation was also off until I put some standard 10-46 gauge strings.

@sowhat5150 3 года назад

I’ve always liked how you do your reviews because you open up the guitar and provide measurements. I wanted a Gibson LP Jr for a long time, but when Gibson raised the price from 2011 $799 to 2015 $1,499 I gave up. When Epiphone came out with this I jumped at it even though the finish was way too dark for my taste. After doing a full setup mine had a high 17th fret and the neck was unusually thick and wide. I expected to mod this from the start so I sanded down the neck to a typical late 50s, sanded off about 1/8” of thick finish off the top and painted it black, added a tortoise shell pickguard, rewired it, and put in a Lindy Fralin vintage P90 with a shim.

Another nice review. I purchased a 2020 Epi SG Special and like it a lot. I've been thinking of getting the Epi LP Junior, but I'm not really that crazy about that sunburst finish or the look of the veneer on the top. Still, it seems like a great guitar for the money.

@williambarabanitz3858 Год назад

Great guitar save for the tuning machines and the jack. Installed Grover machines and a Switch craft jack and plate. With D'Addario pure nickel strings the intonation is ON. The wrap bridge makes this an ideal first electric - acoustic players should find this comfortable. Also, the single pickup is good for former acoustic only players - articulation and hand placement make the tone. Aesthetically the pickguard and veneers could go.

Hi, there, I recently got a "like new" 2019 Gibson LP Jr. It has become one of my favorite guitars to hear and play. Comes with a super Gibson hard case, and all the sound and vibe I could ask for. For the record, I have many Gibson and Fender guitars, including my first "real" guitar, a '76 Les Paul Custom I bought new in '78 (I'd been working 2 yrs by then. Yeah, I'm old). I also have (thanks to you) a totally original '79 The Paul that I love... and a few others. Not gonna bore ya. Is the Les Paul Jr. worth $1000+? To me it is. If you have the means, by all means. I just wish I'd live long enough to wear it out. Thanks for a great show, Trogly.

@roymoderatto 3 года назад

I think the Les Paul Special Tribute P90s is the best value for someone looking at getting a Gibson. The humbucker version is also $999. 600 bucks less than the LP Special TV yellow. Epiphone versions are great value, for sure, but it’s great to have a middle option US made ones. Plus, with that white satin finish and a sharpie... the possibilities are endless! 🤘😎

@b.rodclark7349 3 года назад

I have two Maestro Jr's: an SG that's been upgraded better than entry-level it once was and a Les Paul that's currently under construction and on its way down the path of upgrading, hoping to drop a P90 in it. They differ from Epiphone by having a humbucking pickup and a bolt-on chunky '59 profiled maple neck that feels like butter in my hands but in the case of this Les Paul Junior, that P90 and CTS 500K pots are definitely was happening although the finish could be more period-correct... I wouldn't mind having one myself and @8.8K, in a single-coil pickup with that resistance would be definitely hotter than average which is the case of my Tradition CAB10 Tele's G&B Alnico 5 bridge pickup reading @8.5K is as hot as I like it... and so is that P90 pickup!

Is price just not good enough any more? We have to add point to it? I like price more than price point. Price point seems like someone is trying to rip me off..to make themselves sound smarter than me. Just use price..it works!

@therugburnz 3 года назад

The juniors with an uncompensated Stop-Bar can be intonated fairly well. You will need to choose your string gauge and brand very carefully. A wound third is usually necessary. With a 'Lightning Bolt' you may have to choose carefully also. I originally used a thinner plain g string. It was okay for rock but it didn't feel balanced. The luthier suggested a wound 18 and it worked well even with the smooth Stop-Bar. Thanx Trophy for the documentation of the Epiphone LP Jr.

@Irkennalpha 3 года назад

I just picked an Old Glory vs this one and I think this ones wins. First of all, you have to dig the single pickup, the feeling is quite the same with the exception that the neck on Old Glory is substantially chunkier. The looks of Old Glory are unbeatable, at least on pictures, in real life it’s kind of “too perfect”, I was getting ESP/LTD vibes with that finish. The sound of Old Glory is unbeatable, but I guess this guitar with a Lollar or Seymour D P 90 could do the same trick. Both are awesome!

Anyway, it was, bare none, the worst guitar I've ever owned. It wouldn't stay in tune for more than a strum or two. I ended up giving it to a coworker. I mean, it was dirt cheap but I've had cheaper guitars that were at least playable. The Jr was just junk. Even when it was in tune the pickups sounded like hot garbage.

@dirtydanthesecretsauceman8519 3 года назад

@Coco Morales I’ve played one. They’re pretty nice. My one problem is that you can’t adjust the pickup height because it’s a dog ear. If you don’t know what that does, I’ll tell you. Lowering it (unscrewing it deeper into the body) gives it more treble and more on the high tones. Lifting it (screwing it in higher up and closer to the strings) gives it more bass. Not everyone does that but I like to and it is the most simple thing you can do to change the tone of your guitar and it costs nothing. So that’s my one gripe.

@davidcudlip6587 2 года назад

I've read and heard that the Dog ear pickups that Gibson used back in the day always sounded hotter and ballsier, (Is That a Word?), then the soap bar counterparts of the same era. Players that have both Jr's and Specials say the Juniors had the hotter, raunchier tone. Wonder if they wound those hotter or the way they were mounted to the body has some effect? I own a 2022 Gibson LP Jr, and an Epiphone Jr. The Epiphone is surprisingly a nice guitar. Not quite the quality of the Gibson, but for real, we're talking a one pickup, 2 control guitar originally made for students. And they both kick butt when pushing an overdriven amp. The "Less is More" factor draws me to these styles of guitars.

@Robosan4000 3 года назад

I had a couple Epiphone Jr's from maybe 5 years ago and the body wood was so soft that the string tension pulled the wraparound bridge forward and the bridge studs were at an angle. I hope they have addressed that by now.

Did you improve your playing? I really enjoyed the sound demo 💪🏼💪🏼

Nice tones!....an a/b with the Gibson Jr would be cool

You should also get your hands on the Harley Benton SC-Junior. The internet is booming over how much guitar you get for less than $ 200

I would love to hear the regular SG standard from Epiphones new line-up, I really want to know your opinion on it!

@ultraballstudios5221 3 года назад

I dont think so, he did a review on the 61 Maestro Vibrola standard...

It's basically the same as a Les Paul Special II but P90 and single pick up and glued neck. Clean it sounded Epiphone, but cranked WOW.

Now see Austin you make no sense lol. You said you couldn't understand the $20 difference between the Junior and the Special since the Special has twice as much electronics on it. That's what I have been saying about the Gibson Junior and the Studio models!! for $100 more for the Studio you get twice as much as the Juniors have to offer! I really like that finish!! I have an older Epiphone Special that I bought at a pawn shop that was going out of business for $50! Originally it was just the plain black but I sanded it down and the finish I have on it closely resembles the Gibson smokehouse finish and I love it!! Mine is a bolt on neck which was good because the original neck had a twist to it lol.

7:22 old video, but it still add value: you do have to lubricate them, the only materials that are self-lubricated are TUSQ XL (different from regular TUSQ) and graphite, everything else requires/benefits from lubrication
