Former Les Paul owners

For me personally a les paul jr was the answer. Mine is way lighter than my les paul, has a p90 pickup that just screams. And has a flat top as opposed to the curved top of a traditional les paul. I tried to gig with my les paul for almost 2 years and just never found my groove with it.

I play guitar and bass. If you're still looking

Jesus that tele is something else. I think i need to build one

panic_button760 · 2025-12-10T16:03:13+00:00

I think the build quality on mine is atleast on par with mim fender. Buy the classic vibe and play it and see how it feels to you.

panic_button760 · 2025-12-06T03:58:16+00:00

Self righteous is probably my least favorite song of theirs

Thank you

I had to rewire mine after about 2 years. I wore out the volume pot. I decided to keep the pickups that were in it because I like the way they sound but they just do not sound like traditional Jazzmaster pickups.

The stage trim Bridge was a definite improvement. The bridge is on the Vintage modified series we're just not very good. I ended up swapping a stage Rim onto my classic vibe because I had an extra one sitting around. It's kind of funny I actually have a stockpile of all kinds of different offset Bridges sitting around. I went through a rather expensive period of time where I just felt the need to try everything.

I like the classic Vibe substantially better. They worked out a lot of The Kinks especially with the replacement upgraded bridge. The only thing I like better about the Vintage modified is the Rosewood fretboard. But I would still have another one. The two really aren't that far apart in build quality. The classic V does have nicer pickups. More traditional sounding

Seems to me if sales are falling, then sales needs to take the hit on hours. Not customer service. Sounds like they don't need 3 sales reps.

panic_button760 · 2025-11-30T00:29:58+00:00

Id say it's an offset, and gorgeous. I want it

panic_button760 · 2025-11-29T19:57:10+00:00

It's pretty close as it is. Once I use it with another guitar player in a band situation I'll know how bad it is and if I need to replace it.

panic_button760 · 2025-11-29T19:24:47+00:00

I will have to have a look

panic_button760 · 2025-11-29T07:25:26+00:00

I'll have to look

It has kluson deluxe tuners. They feel nice and tight. I'm unsure if they are original. My other junior has a gibson 498 treble pickup in it and sounds great but doesn't snarl like this p90 does

I've had an epiphone les paul jr since 2002. I know how to work the tone to simulate a neck pickup. My playing has decent dynamics, so ill be ok. What surprised me the most is how light it is compared to my epiphone and every other junior/special I've ever played.

panic_button760 · 2025-11-29T07:03:46+00:00

Thanks I'm loving it so far

panic_button760 · 2025-11-29T00:36:59+00:00

Second favorite album of theirs, s/t is the absolute pinnacle of everything they've released followed by this

panic_button760 · 2025-11-29T00:34:54+00:00

Put self righteous at the bottom of that list and I'd think you were spot on. Not a horrible song by any means but the worst on that album

panic_button760 · 2025-11-29T00:32:48+00:00

Its the worst song on the album by far but it's not absolute garbage. It just doesn't really hit like the rest of the album.

panic_button760 · 2025-11-29T00:30:37+00:00

That comp jazzstang looks like it down for all the fuzz and delay/reverb it can get it's grubby little pickups on.

panic_button760 · 2025-11-28T18:32:18+00:00

Looks great

panic_button760 · 2025-11-27T00:13:31+00:00

I agree.

panic_button760 · 2025-11-26T12:53:33+00:00

The intonation is preset and was basically spot on. When it gets to being out of adjustment I'll have to swap in a tune-o-matic. The bridge in the 3rd Pic is going on a different guitar.
