Woohoo, I recieved my Epi SG jr. 3 days after it was sent.
It is everything I expected + more. Also, The seller was amazing, he freshly oiled the fret board, the set up is very nice. It came packed very well, and the only damage is a little scratch that was mentioned in the Auction. It is only noticable when you look very closely. It plays so well, he even put brand new strings. I wasn't to sure about the p-90 because I never played one, But gosh! It is awesome, the cleans are to die for, it sounds better then any pickup I have ever tried personally on cleans. So smooth and full of bite, I like how the sound is almost a little dark but still a good amount of warmth. Of course I had to change my settings on my amp because it is lacking bass, I figured it would because of the sg's thin body. Also, I heard the P-90 was noisy but on clean channel it is not that noisy at all.
On the over-drive channel that is a different story! So rich and the bottom end is pretty very nice! Very full sounding, which was surprising because I thought it would sound a little thin on SG. Harmonics leap off this baby with ease. But this is wherer the noise comes in, it is not the noise i thought. It was as noisy as my strat until I put hot rails in it. Im sure when I upgrade the pup to a Seymour Duncan p-90 it will sound even better and prolly have less noise.
There are no buzzy frets and the only thing I need to upgrade is the volume nob it is a bit loose but that is no biggy. Another thing I was surpised about was the weight, Im not sure if its a bad thing but it weights like nothing. It is so light I can bearly feel it on my with my strap. But that is prolly because Im used to playing my explorer copy which is pretty heavey, maybe about 8.5 pounds or so. Another bonus is that I wanted to upgrade to 11's from 10's and the new strings he put on are 11's.
