My first wife was from Franklin. I guess I shouldn't judge an entire state by that experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Is the pickup original? The humbucker is something that people can argue about on a Junior, but for the way I would play it a humbucker is the right kind of pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shark Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 It's a Custom Shop model. This one came from Chicago Music Exchange. I liked the pickup configuration and the Grovers. The guy says it rings. Neck is too big for his hands. We play "What If I'd Been the One" and "Hold on Loosely" by .38 Special. I'll have my Don Barnes on.

Steve Haynie Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 If you are doing Don Barnes you need an Ibanez Artist solid body for a couple of songs in addition to what you got. You really have to have another guitar. There is no way around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disturber Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I seriously like the look of that Gibson. Way cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveL Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Those look awesome. Like the idea of just making one with a humbucker and Grover’s. Call me crazy but I think a nice hefty set of real Grover’s can help tone. St least in the case of my 335 it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have my Don Barnes on. Being a CS, that would explain the repro '50's Gibson hang tags. I was hoping that it was a 'regular' model Junior (and thus affordable to me), but I guess not. Dangit!
