Damn! Now that's how a bridge pickup should sound! HiFi heaven. I sold my Jr., like yours, a few years ago. Now I miss it, but tomorrow I'll be picking up an Eastman SB55DC/TV. Jack, you put out such good, articulate and pertinent content. We appreciate it.
Traded my SG Junior for a sick headless Kiesel Osiris 6, the guitar is flawless, but I am still sick with regret about losing the junior..
Like you I made my 2T LPJ mine too. I did the knobs like you, and wiring 50's style but with a 250k tone to tame the highs. The final touch was a OEM tortious shell LPJ pickguard that someone was selling on reverb.
Big fun! 'Sold!' the minute you started playing in the clean section - open and definitely a touch 'chimey' & bell like. What a great upgrade.
My next guitar will absolutely be an Epiphone Les Paul jnr.
I can't afford a Gibson (man yours sounds PHAT!!!!) but for $300AUD used in good condition, I'm getting an Epi LP jnr
That line of Epiphone are great. Real bang for the buck.
@@JackFossett Yes! I still have and regularly use my old Epi LP Special 2.
$300 plus is what a fret job costs..a fret level and set up is around $175..which most guitars need after wood settles in after a year or two..and your going to waste all that playing time on a guitar that is not worth even refreting ?
That finish looks terrible
I like your dedication to guitars
Obsession might be more accurate… 😬
That actually kind of motivates me to get a Les Paul Junior even more because I always wanted one but it seems a bit redundant with the Flying V and ES-225 that I already have and the SG Junior that I would buy before I got a Les Paul Junior but putting in a more 1950s sounding pickup and using it as a guitar for when I want a bit of a punch but not a full on explosion like I get with my hot rodded Gibsons would give it more of a place in my collection than just spending $1000 on one because I think it's cool (not that there's anything wrong with that)
Jack I missed the first video you did on this guitar with factory pickup. This sounds amazing right now with the Righteous P90. Has all the tones you could ever want. I'm recently discovering P90's after 40 plus years. I picked up a Noventa Tele a few months ago. I'm like you with mods. I had to get rid of hum and keep the original character so I'm going to change the P90 with a JJN from Seymour Duncan. I really enjoyed the video. Have an awesome Sunday
I changed the pots and capacitor on mine with bournes and made a lot of difference
Good move ...''make it mine' best advice for all ...cool tones
If a mod improves the clean tone by making it more open and melodic then that is what I would want for my JR. as well.
I have a Gibson p90 lying around.... Thanks Jack!
Sweet sounding Jnr Jack 😊I recently upgraded my SG Special with a Music City Bridge "Savvy" and locking studs. It made a big difference in terms of intonation and tone. I would happily recommend it to anyone using a wraparound bridge Gibson.
That's Exactly the sound I get from my Silvertone. It just needs new tuners, and I've gotta get them before the little beast screams again.
Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful day Jack also Monday is my friends birthday ❤😊
great sounding pup
Ohhhhhh, that sounds wonderful!
sounds good.
pretty styling too.
LP Junior. You know what this guitar has? A big set of balls!!!
Absolutely
I put a wolf tone p 90 on My Hamer Special JR ive Tried The Others But It's The One Cheers !
Put 330k pots... 😉
50's wiring is the way
One last thing, you can play with tone capacitor value. I found that a very low value (56nF polyester) vas great. The sound of a wah pedal in middle position with the knob at zero. Much more usable than the classic muffled sound...
The best sounding P90 I ever heard was a Lollar. It ruined all others.
I gotta know. Who is JD Flynn and what did he do wrong?
Push pull pot would give an additional sound. a series capacitor cuts bass and mellows the output
Sounds great!! I also have a junior with 500k pots. And I guess vintage correct should be 250k for the tone pot.. Think it's worth switching that to 250? What would it do?
How did you put those single line kluson tuners on there without drilling holes??
Wonder when the 5 string version hits the shelves 😂
How did you get the Klusons on there? I was under the impression that the holes weren't straight enough to use the three on a plate style on the USA juniors, did you use an adapter bushing or did you straight up dowel and redrill the holes?
I had to ream the holes slightly and use adapter bushings.
@@JackFossett ah cool thanks. I'll look into doing this. What adapter bushings did you use?
@@nickwork6392 Kluson brand ones, they’re available right on Amazon
@@JackFossett thanks man!
I wouldn't pay that much for a Gibson. There's too many options out there now.
Gibson LP Jr design is flawed . I guess they can't play 100% in tune especially in the upper register 12th fret up cause of the flawed bridge ? Tom Bukovac says "Music City Bridges" with fix that . Ever heard of them , Jack ?
I have a junior and a special both are awesome, they both are atleast %20 better. Dollar for Dollar they are the best mods I've ever made.
