I really want a Jr..  as much as I'd hate to cover up some of the wood on my special..  I was thinking it might cure my craving for a junior ..   Anyone done it?  thanks....

Great minds think alike...

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.

Yes it has. Mine was definitely influenced by Johnny Thunders' Juniorized sustain block Specials.

I started 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.
