First real vintage Gibson-- Corpse here is responsible. I had been wanting one of these for a good year or two but the right one didn't seem to come up. I think this is perhaps a covid related sale. I guess there IS a silver lining. I heard the spotted salamanders are also thriving due to less cars on the roads-- less fatalities. I know there are some others but anyhow... Corpse sends me a reverb text basically is like "ok dude here's there one! put up or shut up!".... sent some pics to a friend who seemed to think it looked legit and... the rest is history.
Its just killer! I guess I was surprised by two things-- one-- the workmanship is just great. Two -- its LIGHT. 6lbs 14oz (I'm not sure if thats light for a junior but maybe I'm getting old and I just seem to gravitate towards lighter guitars.) Three (ok maybe more than two -- the neck is perfect! its just right. not a baseball bat, not too thin. Four- action is low. Five-- I'm learning the joys of using the volume and tone knobs-- how about a little finesse dumbass! 6-- Juniors are rock and roll. period.
here she is. Came in a 70s case-- no chip board.
the relic job is really authentic ! :rofl
And thanks again Corpse for helping me spend my money. I couldn't ask for a better GAS sherpa. now as for that Fender Amp....
