I did a quick fret polish, conditioned the board and ran to rehearsal with it last night
It just sounds HUGE.
The frets are beautifully dressed, the board was a little dry, frets are a more vintage profile. The wiring was neat and clean (big OD cap), the finish appears flawless. It looks like a 2 piece body, center joined, nice weight to it, probably ~8.5 lbs.
Only changes I'll make are larger strap pins and a plain black truss rod cover. I expect to put a lot of miles on this ride.
I'Ve just got mine from Thomann here in Germany. Is 8.5 lbs a typo maybe? Mine weights in 7.05 on the kitchen scale. I've seen some at Wildwood's Website going even lower @6.8 or something.
Apart from that I can agree with everything you said about These. It's a phantastic guitar, the neck is perfect for me - frankly the first USA Standard Junior that I like the neck of. I'm usually a Custom Shop guy, but this guitar is not too far away and right out of the box. Interestingly the setup was great either. Thomann offers a free Setup Service but since that takes 3 days and I setup my own guitars myself anyway, I declined. So what I got was the shipment right as it came out of the container all the way from the USA. I would have expected anything but certainly not a perfectly setup guitar. Nevertheless it was.
I put a Faber bridge on it (the factory bridge is zinc dycast an weights 80 gr vs. 30 of the Faber aluminum one) and I put a Throbak Dogear in it. And now that Thing screams like an old one. Not that the Gibson P90s are bad, they are actually really good, but I wanted to see how far I could push that guitar.
The pots are great either, seems to me they put audio taper pots now in their standard line as well.
Those are highly recommended it one is looking for a good LP Jr.
