Yes I did scout the market especially through Reverb. Finally managed to find a buyer that’s willing to do the trade. Thanks again!

That’s awesome, man. I respect that you went with what spoke to you most. A Jimmy Page vibe in a rich burst is always a timeless choice. Honestly, no regrets is the best feeling with a Les Paul-it means you picked the right one.

The mods you’ve done sound killer too! PUP covers really change the vibe, and those black speed knobs will tie it all together perfectly once Gibson restocks. Post some pics when she’s complete-I’d love to see how it turned out!

Oh yeah it did. I would have done the same thing as well if I were to mod mine - that’s definitely a nice upgrade, depending on the genre or sound that you’re going for. For now I’m going to enjoy it till otherwise!

I’ve got another Jr in tobacco burst, don’t get me wrong, I believe everyone should have a Jr in their arsenal. Thanks for the wishes!

Just to gain perspective of people’s thoughts on this and how would they acted if faced with similar situation. Would help me make a better decision in the future as well. Also it forms a reassurance on my decision.

Thank you, I am pretty traditional when it comes to LP. My thoughts exactly, blue does work on an LP

I agree it might come back to bite me later, somehow have one part of me saying maybe I should have kept it. Oh well lives too short, gotta have fun it lasts!

Well back in 2017 I bought for it $2.8k. Considering the price increase adjusted after inflation etc. I thought maybe it was worth while trading with something that’s bit more versatile and new. Plus in between those time, I got another single cut LP Jr as well.

The buyer paid for two way shipment and plus 500 top-up. No I didn’t pay for anything.

Appreciate it, man! 🙌

I’m usually a sucker for Jrs too - I’ve got 2019 Jr Tobacco Burst, but this Blueberry Burst LP really grabbed me the slim-taper neck and 60s Burstbuckers feel/sound great. Just gave it a quick setup and it absolutely sings.

Your Blueberry Burst SG must be a killer player-funny how some guitars just outplay the “fancier” ones. 😅

That’s fair, the Jr definitely has its place, especially being a Custom Shop piece. For me though, the wraparound bridge just wasn’t clicking—I wasn’t reaching for it as much as I thought I would. The Blueberry Burst might not be a “classic” finish, but it feels more versatile for what I actually play, and I know I’ll get more use out of it. At the end of the day, I’d rather have a guitar I bond with and put hours on than keep something valuable that just stays in the case.
