It's quite cool but they've mangled the pickguard. Shame they don't do a straight Jr with a HB, it'd be popular I think

Aaarrrghhh! Why don't they just do a Junior! They'd sell shed loads!

That scratchplate is an abomination.

Strangely the link no longer works

Oddly enough, they've ripped off the Rock N Roll Relics Thunders model.  But it suits the doublecut a bit better.

I have the white 2004 or whatever year it was signature LP Junior. Plays great on dirty channel but that's all its good for. Now it just sits in its case.

If you ever want to get rid of it let me know!

That pickguard is actually in the shape of a corned beef tin...

Ha how many have you got or was that your only one?

Love that it comes strung with Hybrids. 

Low frets though.... I could never ever play it.

There's something odd about it. Is the shape different or an optical illusion brought on by the screwed up scratchplate?

flying_pie

Ach. If only it had a P90 and medium jumbo frets...

Probably just the scratchplate. Can’t say I noticed anything but I’m no Gibson expert tbh.

This makes me wonder if the R&RR version was based on some old obscure Gibson?

It’s still got a slim taper neck, not a proper Les Paul Junior neck...

Indeed.  Although I see the 2018 singlecut Junior actually has a 50s profile.
