Members jhorne Posted October 22, 2010 Members Share Posted October 22, 2010 They were discontinued a few years ago. They were only around $700 at the time. $1200+ is way too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fuzztone Posted October 22, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 22, 2010 I can get one for $800 from Music123 because they canceled my order for a Les Paul Studio Goldtop. Do you think it is worth $800? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaleH Posted October 22, 2010 Members Share Posted October 22, 2010 I think $800 sounds more reasonable if you really like the neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rex Machete Posted October 22, 2010 Members Share Posted October 22, 2010 I think I played one at Guitar Center a couple of weeks ago. It was nice, but not $1200 nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarman3001 Posted October 22, 2010 Members Share Posted October 22, 2010 I can get one for $800 from Music123 because they canceled my order for a Les Paul Studio Goldtop. Do you think it is worth $800? probably a good price but for some reason it doesn't really grab me like the 50s goldtop LP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fuzztone Posted October 22, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 22, 2010 By the way This is a new model sorta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jhorne Posted October 22, 2010 Members Share Posted October 22, 2010 Did the ones for $700 have a gloss finish and a hardshell case? Gig bag, not sure about the finish. Either way, $1200+ is way too much for this one IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Deadbeat Son Posted October 22, 2010 Members Share Posted October 22, 2010 Gig bag, not sure about the finish. Either way, $1200+ is way too much for this one IMO. Gig bag and faded finish; I just sold mine two weeks ago. I guess I should have called M123 to see what they could do for me after receiving their voicemail.

Members GAS Man Posted October 22, 2010 Members Share Posted October 22, 2010 I can get one for $800 from Music123 because they canceled my order for a Les Paul Studio Goldtop. Do you think it is worth $800? Absofuckinglutely! I have an "earlier version" But this one has the P-100 pickups. (Plenty of folks were in a hurry to swap out those p'ups in theirs like Brian K and Chairborne but I sorta like the P-100s - but anyway-) For a while there, the only LP Jr Spc's you could get with P-90s were made for consumption in Japan. So this is a big deal. Before now you would have had to ordered one from Japan. But I would agree that it's not much more than the SG Classic as far as value goes, HOWEVER, the Junior Special does have a thicker body and therefore a deeper tone than the SG version - whichever way your tastes go on that - it's a different critter. Bottom line - I'd say for $800 it's a "no-brainer". I'd be looking to bend some plastic that still had some wiggle room left on it. (The one I pictured above cost $700 about a decade ago) But then again, I am an OCD GAS'r. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted October 22, 2010 Members Share Posted October 22, 2010 Did the ones for $700 have a gloss finish and a hardshell case? No, they were gigbag. And the finish was glossy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members poolshark Posted October 22, 2010 Members Share Posted October 22, 2010 Gig bag and faded finish; I just sold mine two weeks ago. I guess I should have called M123 to see what they could do for me after receiving their voicemail. I had a black one that was gloss. It did come with a gig bag. Sold it for ~$700 a few months ago: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was referring to the Faded DC Special since he said it was discontinued a few years ago. Those single cuts were discontinued much longer ago than that.

Members bisticles Posted October 22, 2010 Members Share Posted October 22, 2010 Yeah, I got the same offer from M123, and seriously thought about just switching my order out for the Cherry Jr, but it's just not my style. Looks like it should make some people here happy, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wyatt Posted October 22, 2010 Members Share Posted October 22, 2010 How much? $1250. Not the best bargain, but not out of line for a Gibby. Especially since they haven't offered many production double-cut Junior's. But for $500 more, one can find used Historics with better wood and correct TV Yellow finish, which might prove the better buy with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it would sell for any less than that used. (but I prefer the wraparound bridge) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(but I prefer the wraparound bridge) Thanks.That's kinda what I thought. I would prefer the wraparound bridge too but I would have to pay alot more for a custom shop version. I can get this one for $800 from Music123 because I ordered a Goldtop Les Paul Studio 50's Tribute from them and they can't get it for me so they said they just got these Les Paul Jr Special Exclusives in and the price is $1249 but I could have one for $400 off plus another $50 off in Loyalty points. I already have one of the Les Paul Studio 50's Trib Goldtops so I'm not too upset about them not get one for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your nether regions!!! Like I mentioned in the other thread, I had two orders in for one and they canceled both of them. They called me about the first one and left me a voicemail but never called me for the second one. I found out just now by logging in and checking the status. I'm actually considering one of the Epi goldtops instead but would need a really spectacular price offered to me since I'd want to change the stock epi P90s to gibson ones or maybe some other 3rd party noiseless P90s. Not to mention, they were selling for 399.00 just a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
