Re: Les Paul Jr's w/ single p90
The old ones kick ***. Back when I was a kid they were quite common, I've never owned one but I've played a bunch. I played a borrowed LP Junior for a while in the first band I was ever in. The sound is somewhere between a regular single coil and a humbucker, it's a GREAT distortion sound with the right amp. There are a couple of clips at Legendary Tones with a '59 Junior through a Time Machine Boost that are killer. One is into a JTM 45 and the other is into a JCM 800.

Oh, they still make them. I ran across a new one not that long ago in a pawn shop. They're an awfully fun instrument to play. An P-90's, while not my personal favorite, really make that guitar sound good. You can pick them up for about $450. There's normally not a lot of man hours in making them (at least compared to a LP)

Nothing more pure than an LP Jr. with a P-90, if you can't rock with one it's just time to go home.My Bands -

Re: Les Paul Jr's w/ single p90
I saw a Jr. a few months back at a GC. New, it was in the $300 range as I recall. I know you can get a Historic RI Jr. but they go for $$. I don't know how the RI sounds, but I have a real '56 that flat out kills. When I bought it it didn't have the original pup. I put an Antiquity in it and that was that. With 500K pots, those guitars put you in the Telecaster range tonally (broadly speaking). Cool sound, but I like mine with a 250K pot and a .022 Orange Drop. Plug into a good amp and that guitar has raw blues/rock tone that puts my Historic lesters to shame.

Re: Les Paul Jr's w/ single p90
a junior is one of the few gibsons i would really like to have. they are nice and simple and sound very good. i would think a nice one would be well worth the 3 hour drive.
