Steve Haynie Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Just channel your inner Malcolm and take your neck pickup out while leaving the empty hole for everyone to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamerhead Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 It's probably just my pea brain, but my Junior feels like it has a different thing going on than any of the Specials I've had. Not Strat-vs-Les-Paul different, but definitely it's own thing. Get a Junior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was definitely influenced by Johnny Thunders' Juniorized sustain block Specials. I started with this: Finished with this: I had the woodwork/filling done at Mouradian Guitar. Did the re-fin and assembly myself. Even starting with a somewhat cheap beater for a donor I probably still have more money into than it is worth. Doesn't matter. It's not going anywhere. A modded, beat, humbucker Special was much easier to find than a beater P90 Special. Still looking for one of those to make a matching P90 version.

Jakeboy Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 @RichF, is that sea foam green or a different color? I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichF Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Sea Foam Green. Very tough to get a photo with accurate color. In photos it tends to come out more blue than it actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixesandsevens Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 5 hours ago, murkat said: yup, it has been done, and going to be done again... I assume that's a fresh maple top/veneer to cover up the woodworking for the neck pickup slot? Looks great and a great idea vs. forcing the move to a solid color.
