Damn dude. very nice. I think that faded cherry is an under appreciated finish.

Thanks I really like this finish too. It's not really a faded finish,just a satin finish. Anyway,I really love this guitar. I ordered a new case for it too

I love him. He's basically me without any self awareness and with better playing ability.

I think his demos are fantastic, he loves playing guitar. Hooray for joy.
Well, there's all the evidence I ever needed.

I think he was just back to collect that bit of evidence. Now he's left again to build his case.

Perhaps he was a proper internet nutter?

Congrats on the new Junior!

Gibson is charging way too much for them new. List is something like $150 more than the faded SG, despite having fewer body contours, half as many pickups/pots/no switch, cheaper tuners, etc. Compared the SG at $700, they should be charging $600-650 tops. A used model at $500 or so would be a good deal.

Thanks man. Yeah,I agree that they are too expensive but you can find good deals on used one's. I'm really happy with the one I got. I just love that Gibson P-90

I used to have a 2003 Melody Maker which is similar but I like the wraparound bridge on the Junior better. Also I like the finish on the Junior better
