a lp junior? nope, its a lp melody maker.

"The reincarnated version of the Gibson Melody Maker is very similar to the Les Paul Junior specs, with a single P-90 pickup, but uses different body and neck woods and different finish style."

Hmm, yeah... they do look real similar.

Except the melody maker has a really pap headstock. And that's actually the first one I've seen with a scratchplate.

It was the scratchplate that threw me, I thought the current melody maker didnt have one.

Yep, the older melody makers with scratchplates seem to have a different pot & jack-in configuration.

I'd say the scratchplate definately makes for a rather classier looking axe. The plain ones look pretty cheapy.

Fairly certain the current Melody Makers don't come with scratchplates as standard, but easy enough to buy one. Also, if it was a Junior it should have a wraptail.

Was in Sound Control in Edinburgh a couple of weeks ago and they were flogging these Melody makers for £400, but they have the faded/satin finish which feels cheap and crappy to me. Think I'll stick with my R4 for all my P90 needs.

Poor blair, that sucks. Damn the icey roads this far north.

I'm with the suggestion of P-90s although I'm not sure of those Squiers. I'd maybe look into an SG special of some description.

How about this cool Jazzmaster with humbuckers?



Excite ƒGƒLƒTƒCƒg –|–ó : ‰pŒê–|–󁄃EƒFƒuƒy[ƒW–|–ó

Works out at under £300, but by the time you added shipping from Japan and duty it would probably cost around £400 in total.

That's a Jaguar like the one I already posted. They are really good guitars though.
