Nice cheap LP Jr fix, great backup or starter guitar FS: an Epiphone LP Junior Special in Vintage Sunburst that I got a nice deal on and then upgraded with some stuff I had lying around. Stock pickup was replaced with a GFS Professional Series Alnico II Bridge Pickup: http://store.guitarfetish.com/GFS-p...mbucker-Nickel-Case-Bridge-Pickup_p_4150.html
the pots have been replaced with CTS 500K pots, the tone cap is a Russian PIO .015uf cap and I upgraded the jack too (I believe it's a Switchcraft, but it may be a Mojotone). I kinda slapped some Honda parts on a Kia or something I guess.
The bridge has been upgraded to a Wilkinson Intonatable Wraparound one like this one: http://store.guitarfetish.com/Wilkinson-Lightweight-Adjustable-Intonated-Wrapround-Bridge_p_892.html
The bridge has a bit of wear, but works well.
The guitar is in very good shape, plays well and sounds great with the upgrades. It's missing a number of the screws for the various plates, but everything is held on and those are pretty easily replaceable. If I was going to do anything else it would be to upgrade the tuners, but the stock ones actually haven't given me any issues. $120 shipped/pp'ed to the lower 48
