4.0 out of 5 stars rock's secret...., October 28, 2009

those in the know can tell you a good LP JR. kicks major butt.
However, be careful with the reissues because many are not one piece bodies. With that, I'm lucky enough to own a one piece body reissue. Strumming it unplugged, it's very resonant.
The single coil p90 is very responsive and can cover a wide range of tones. Do not be fooled: a hot p90 can allow for mean palm mutes(depending on your amp!) and screaming high notes. I do recommend putting on heavy gauge strings, because 9's will be too light and the instrument won't deliver any low end. Gibson used to advertise this model with a slim taper neck, but it's more 50's round(though not as chunky as a '59 neck) than slim.
I've played nice reissues side by side with vintage ones, and these can hold up.
HOWEVER, I've recently seen this model in a store and the wood grain/finishing did not match mine from a mere 2 years ago. Ebay can offer you some insight to how sought after a nice vintage JR. goes for.

Quality control..... I think Gibson have forgotten the meaning in recent years. Fair enough, reissues of the Explorer and Firebird that I've bought in the past year have passed the test with flying colors, but these cheaper models don't even stack up against Oriental imports when it comes to finish. I have the featured model, a 2011 version, and while it plays well and sounds great now (I'll get to that), it has one of the roughest neck jobs I've come across in years in terms of sharp ends on many frets, rough fingerboard edges and bumps under the finish (Caveat Emptor when it comes to buying sight unseen from the internet). I had to straighten the neck as soon as I took it out of the box, and re-intonate the wrap-around bridge. The P-90 pickup is adequate, but I immediately fitted a Kinman version, and what a difference I can tell you! Crisp, clear definition at all tone settings, unlike the muddiness the Gibson p/u suffers from when toned down a bit. I feel that the Gibson as... Read more
