Members Gravity Posted June 10, 2006 Members Share Posted June 10, 2006 I played one of the new LP Juniors the other day and was really impressed with how it felt, played, and sounded. This was the first guitar I'd ever played that had a wrap-around on it and I thought that piece had aloth to do with the guitar's sound and feel. It just seemed that the notes sounded bigger and rounder. Anyone else have this experiance or amd I reading too much into it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bgmacaw Posted June 10, 2006 Members Share Posted June 10, 2006 Was this the Epiphone Jr or the Gibson Jr? If it was the Epiphone, more details please. The wrap-around bridge is part of the sound equation in these guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dughaze Posted June 10, 2006 Members Share Posted June 10, 2006 Those look cool as all get out but they look like they don't intonate very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gravity Posted June 10, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 10, 2006 It was the newer Gibson LP Jr. and yeah, I figgured intonation could get a little hairy .... but hey ... that's rock and roll! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr.Hanky Posted June 10, 2006 Members Share Posted June 10, 2006 Wrap tails are the sheite!! They have a different attack with more sting, better sustain and are just stoopid simple! There is just less loss then a standard ABR Get one, you will not be dissapointed and don't sweat the intonation, I've yet to hear a wraptail owner complain about it, myself included.

Best bridge ever in my book (I have 3 SG jr 1 Gordon-Smith and one Pete Townshend Sig with wraparounds bridges, and I'm looking for a R4 LP ).
