troyvod eh

is that a reference to voivod by chance?

nice special on the left... im jealous

not sure i like the color on the jr... sgs are supposed to be cherry or brown... white/black are suitable too. welcome to the forum

Hows that JR play?, I got a line on one but I'm more of a vintage player....

 

[troyvod]

Yep a Voivod reference. I got the Junior real cheap, i think it was a japan only custom colour. It's got a 59 style neck on it which is a good thing. A little lacking in the tone dept compared to the 68. Needs to be played and broken in some more too.

Welcome to ETSG troyvod! :) :) :)

Very cool pair there!

 

[vkgphil]

yea another real headbanger here!

i figure the pic doesnt represent the color accurately. is that a powder blue?

 

[guitarweasel]

I've seen those Jr's. on eBay, they come in multiple flavors. Good deals on them too, when you can find them.

 

[troyvod]

Yep that's pretty much the colour, there were yellow and pale pink released at the same time. Can't find anymore info than that though. Was hoping someone here would know a little more.

Here's my junior, I think yours and mine are from the same set.
great guitar huh? your blue one looks great

Nice pair. Is the neck of the Jr. wider at the nut than that of the Special?

wow, the juniors look awesome, i didn't even know they had SG juniors up until 2006. i dont think gibson is going in the right direction, everything is too expensive (for a 15 year old boy)!

 

[troyvod]

Yep the junior is wider at the nut than the special. the neck is pretty close to a 59. unlike the pencil thin late 60's necks.
