Members bjcarl Posted May 26, 2006 Members Share Posted May 26, 2006 Originally posted by machine gunner This was my experience too. It actually sounded very much like a junior should sound, even w/ the bucker, but I could never keep it in tune... Do you think the problem is with the bridge, strings, neck, nut or tuners?

Did you fix it on yours? I'm thinking about ditching mine, but I'd hate to sell someone a POS on principal... Nut replacement, grease, pencil lead, what?

Members Sparky6string Posted May 26, 2006 Members Share Posted May 26, 2006 Originally posted by bjcarl Nut replacement, grease, pencil lead, what? Have a luthier file your nut. Shouldn't cost that much and it sounds like it'd be well worth it. Is it that $99 one? I know some cats really like those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sparky6string Posted May 26, 2006 Members Share Posted May 26, 2006 Originally posted by jerry_picker Sounds painful anyway, cats or no cats. True, but it's got to be better than a broken nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd buy another though, if it was problem free- sure there are some out there. I really did like the sound... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Professor Tom Posted May 26, 2006 Members Share Posted May 26, 2006 Originally posted by batotman Ltd. Ed. ''57 Les Paul Junior Reissue - What could be simpler than surface-mounting one dog-ear P-90 pickup on a slab of mahogany? But perhaps it is this simplicity that contributes to the Les Paul Jr's ability to so consistently produce great tone. And now, Epiphone recreates this classic set-neck, all-solid wood model at a price that everyone can afford. We've even added a P-100 humbucker for pure rock tone with no noise. That P90 looks too far away from the bridge to me ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The '55 had it's pup close to the bridge, but the '56 on did not, if I remember correctly... I'm really curious to hear what people think of the new Epi Jr, though. Now I'm kind of GASing for one...

Members 97TJ Posted May 26, 2006 Members Share Posted May 26, 2006 I love my sx gg1-jr with P90's. I'm no professional but I did shield it, wax pot the PUPs, filed the frets and lowered the action. It plays and sounds great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Brian Krashpad Posted May 29, 2006 Members Share Posted May 29, 2006 Originally posted by GreatestGains What is that? That's an SX, the cheaper of the two lines sold by Rondo Music. SX is Chinese, Agile is MIK. http://www.rondomusic.net That particular model is the GG1. They come in their approximation of TV Yellow, Natural. and now in Sunburst.
