Attached File I’m pretty new at this whole guitar thing and you clowns never mentioned how great a Les Paul Junior is.  yes it’s the Epihone version. I still kinda suck at this so spending Gibson money isn’t an option right now.But holy hell. This thing fits my playing style and music preferences perfectly. I’m an OG Punk guy. I love this stupid $500.00 guitar. I added a few guns and a random ACOG to keep your attention. |

| Just wait till you learn about the old Japanese les paul clones. Hohner made some really bitchin ones back in the 70s. Gold hardware, full body and head binding, pick guard, yada yada. You can pick them up used for like $300 on reverb. I've had mine for almost 30 years. Got it from a pawn shop back in the day for peanuts. |

| I have had several Epiphone and Gibson LP Jr's. I have found that the lightning bar works well enough for intonation on either. There are so many aftermarket bridges that can be intonated. One company that has their shit together with one piece tail/bridge is Gretsch. Their new series of Electromatic come with a bar that is able to be fully intonated. It is available on the aftermarket, Gotoh I think, and is fantastic. |
