Les Paul Junior (?) (CAN)

Post by Barry »

Seller is calling this an LP Junior but it also looks similar to 'The Paul' model which would come with humbuckers, and no pick guard—the P90's are great but don't look original to me.

Very optimistic price of CAD$400

I have this model - I believe those P90's are original. Pancake body - mahogany with something in-between (maple?).

$400 is actually not too bad of a price since you almost never see this model come up for sale, but the body condition would probably have me haggling that down a bit.
I started ElDegas.com many years ago to help celebrate and inform about El Degas instruments. It all started with a used Ric 4000 bass copy I bought in circa 2000.

El Degas stable as of 03/2022: 42 :shock: (13 bass, 26 electric, 3 acoustic)

Junior it is then.
It's the mounting rings on the P90 which made me question their originality.
Moot point now since it appears to have been sold!

Mine has the same strange mount for the P90s... the bad news is that I have to replace one of them in mine!

Bummer.
Still, there are lots of replacement choices out there these days.
I have installed GFS Mean 90's and Warman (UK based) humbucker sized P90's in two very different guitars with very good results.
No opportunity to try the soap bars but they should be good too.
