Did some horse trading this weekend and ended up with a 2012 TV yellow DC Junior. It's actually a BJA model with the signed pickguard, but it sports a tort. I don't care either way for Greenday, but a good Junior is a good Junior.
It has been plekked and bone nut added, RS 500/250K kit and .022 cap. Pickup is a Fralin 8K. Also came with a new HS case and a Graphtech ResoMax bridge, which I promptly removed and reinstalled the stock tailpiece.
Compared to my 2004 production SC Junior, it's definitely not as resonant or aggressive, but a cool guitar in it's own right.
The TV yellow is transparent, but not as overdone as the Historics, which IMO are a little more than the vintage ones I have played. The pickup and bridge are closer together more like the '54-'56 Juniors.
I think this might be an axe I set the action high for as a primary slide guitar.
