This year's tax refund was VERY good to me -- I was first able to buy the Standard Custom from Elduave. I still had enough left to get something else and ended up with this 5.5 lb. tone monster from George's Music Center in CT from a good bud of mine, Scott (thanks bro). This axe totally rips it up through my Reinhardt 18 watter and THD cab and get a load of the fretboard as it's almost as dark as ebony IMO.

In my line of work we call that a "spinner."

Great score Jaye. Those guitars look unassuming but are NOT for the meek.

You can say that again Chris! The dealer told me "you have NO idea how much balls this thing has" and he was right.

I've played BruceM's through my Valvetech rig. LACERATING tone.

Great. Just what I needed. Someone to feed the Junior jones. Of course I have yet to plug any guitar into the ValveTech, that didn' kill.

 
Welcome to the junior club. the Korian Junior is one of my favorite guitars. Welcome to the K-O-R-I-N-A club too. Damn spellcheck police.

Yeah they're surprisingly nice considering they're imports.

I had to read that sentence twice to be sure I got it correct.

 
I also played Bruce M's last summer when I was home. I played it through his Carmen Ghia and that was a RIPPING set-up!!!

I think it takes a special kind of player to really do these guitars justice (I'm not one of them). There's all kinds of tones in there, you just have to experiment with the tone & volume knobs. I also think running through a single channel amp adds to the old school vibe/way of playing by just using your volume control on the guitar to coax different tones. I bet that guitar KILLS through that Reinhardt!

 
Hell Yeah!!! Another convert! In the beginning, I was kinda skeptical. I couldn't figure out what the fuss was. Single P90? Tone? A "private demonstration" with a Gibson Ranger GA20T amp (those are the crappiest amps ever. Don't buy them, call me and I will remove said amp out of your area.) and I was hooked.

I love Juniors and the Korina stuff kills. There have been several here that has tried to spread the good gospel of the junior. They are not for the meek.

I think Jol called them "little rock and roll machines" or something to that affect. All I know is I have mine and they are cool as hell.

Congrats and enjoy.

 
Jol held one of the 6 cherry BCR Juniors at the Hamer Factory and said that it was a "Stripped down rock and roll machine".

He was right.

 
Yeah I had NO idea what a tone monster these korina Juniors really are. And you guys are right: through an "old school" amp like the Reinhardt the thing just growls like no tomorrow. Actually, this guitar sounds better than anything else I own through that particular amp.
