My absolute favorite Jr. model. The TV yellow is pretty great too.

Used to have the Edwards version, which was great; bet this has got a wussy little neck on it though, thus missing the point entirely.

I love that picture of Thunders. I have a compelling urge to buy another Junior everytime i see it, i had the 'Lite' model with two Soapbars.
Gibson prices are ridiculous though, if i had the money i'd go for an Edwards.

I do love those guitars, I don't understand why they're so much more expensive than the regular single cutaway juniors.

In 1958 this bare-bones electric was updated with a double-cutaway body for improved upper-fret access, and this incarnation of the Junior became a particular favorite with punk and garage rockers forever after. The Les Paul Junior Doublecut pays homage to this austere classic.
i mean, c'mon!

This thread has caused me to send what could turn out to be a very expensive email to Gordon Smith Guitars...

I've long entertained the idea of getting a Gordon Smith - think, if they can do what I want (effectively a white LP Jr. with a fat as fuck neck and a couple of tarty cosmetic appointments) then I'll sell the SG (and maybe the Baja).

Jam Guitars near me always have Gordon Smiths in. They look great for the price. Sounds interesting, I didn't know they would take orders like that. A mate of mine in Manchester is on the look out for "the one" so I might let him know to get in touch with them
