Sounds like you were born with that Jr. in your hands, fantastic Paul!
Thank you Glen, I’m delighted you like the pairing (Paul Cook & Junior 🤣).
I came for the review, but stayed for the talent. Wow, you have a gift!
Well thank you man, I appreciate that. Delighted you liked the playing. Cheers 🍻
Well done real pleased for you, such a pleasure to hear you play it
Ah, thank you Ross. I feel like a kid at Christmas again 🤣
Love your playing! Its very impressive the varied tones you can get out of a single pickup guitar. Most inspiring! Thankyou!
Thank you kindly VMX12k 👍. Cheers for watching
Paul as always your playing is exceptional and filled with emotion its just awesome. Congrats on the jr.rock machine. Your videos are always inspiring.
Ah, thank you Tim. Delighted you’re watching my wee videos. And yes, I’m loving my new toy 😀
What a great guitarist you are. Tasty playing and great technique. That new Jr. suits you well. Great looking and awesome sounding guitar. I love the simplicity of the one pickup design. Lots of fun and enjoyment ahead for you in your guitar cave :-)
Ah, thank you Thor, I appreciate your kind words 🙏. Thanks man.
MAN !!! WHAT A TONE !!! Congratulatians to this BEAUTY ! Oh my God , a ( Vintage ) Junior is on my Wishlist for Years. Now I know I need one.
Thank you Michael 👍
Of all your stunning guitars this is the one that speaks the most to me. A very lucky man to own such a beauty! Let's hope she's in many videos to come.
Thank you Richard! Yes, it’s a real beast, the loudest guitar I own. In fact, I tend to instinctively place the Junior’s volume knob at no. 5, or else it just obliterates my other guitars 🤣
Wow! Thanks Paul I love that you shared the thrill and suspense of new guitar day with us! Super cool! My 1st electric was a Sears version of that axe, red gloss grain showing ..bought it for 60$ from a friend who is a great Canadian musician/producer now..
Thanks again, cheers!
My pleasure Astrolabe Sage! Well it sounds like that Sears has a story and a pedigree! 🤘
Congratulations to a lovely guitar!!!😍 And as always, well played👍
Thank you Mikael! Appreciated 👍
This is the best review of a junior I've seen! Thank you!
Ah, thank you Steve, I’m delighted you like my wee vid. I’m really loving the Junior 🙏
Gorgeous jr!! Love em! Congrats mate!
Thanks Gunroar Guitar 👍
I think you've nailed it with the Clint analogy. Thanks for the video, it sounds sodding glorious.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching Doug 👍
My word you have such an awesome feel and touch! Musical vibrato to boot too!
The Voodoo Child excerpt was on point!
I love the way that guitar sounds in your hands mate! Thank you for this demo!
Thank you Aditya! What a lovely compliment, cheers to you 🍻
That’s all very tasty sounding Paul, hope you enjoy it and it inspires you lots. I’m only half way through listening to this and I needed to leave a comment. Takes a good player to bring out the tone like that. Excellent I’m delighted that you are connecting with it Paul Enjoy👌🌅 🌠🌌
Ah, thank you Alistair, appreciate you leaving a comment. I’m super excited to have it. I feel like a kid at Christmas 🤣
This definetely deserves more views. This is only the second time in the youtube game i see a guy that really knows how to play a junior (and thanks for the 3 / 3 tip :D). Great job.
Thank you so much Choupi😊👍. Delighted to read such a lovely comment!
Incredible playing, and the analogy was great!
Thank you Greg, and delighted you liked my analogy 🤣
One of these have been on my wish list for a good while now. It sounds tremendous Paul. Absolutely love them.
Best wishes,
Gareth
Thanks Gareth, I’m delighted with it. 😀

Thanks Kevin, delighted you liked my playing 👍. Cheers for watching.
Unbelievable playing. Fantastic tone too... Very nice.
Thank you QW, delighted you like my playing 👍
Paul, every post of yours is a masterclass of technique, riffs and licks even though you don't pitch it as a lesson. I have to hand it to you, your fluency and creativity is second to none. I get a new set of ideas to lift and develop every time I watch you. Keep on posting! (Oh, and I think the majority of us would agree you ARE hot!)
Ah, thank you so much for your lovely compliment! Appreciated Albert 🙏

Happy new guitar day paul!! It’s a Beauty that and sounds amazing.
I’m waiting for a new electro acoustic to be delivered hopefully early next week. it’s only been 2 days and the wait is killing me ha. Enjoy mate!! 👍
Oh, I can feel your pain Lewis 🤣. Waiting for the arrival of a new guitar is just torture! Well I hope you enjoy your new baby when she arrives. I can sense you’re in for some happy times 👍🤘🎸
Great guitar & great playing! Enjoy!👍🎶 A junior is on my list!
sounds like a beast when awoken up ... gorgeous sound .
Thank you John 👍
Amazing playing as always
Thank you Jackson, delighted you liked my playing 👍
“Plain girl at the back of the bar” ...but what a bottom end👍🏻😆
Bought a custom shop junior last year. Couldn’t believe what I was missing!
Congrats🎸
So we’re “custom shop twins” 🤣👍. Cheers for watching man.
Brilliant. I love the no-pedals / 3 / 3 setting.
Thank you K B 👍
Congratulations mate, happy days! Enjoy it and yes, you deserve it! If you can make it sing, you deserve it..and boy do you make that thing sing! Cheers and stay safe!
Thanks Krenar. Your videos with your own Junior helped to fuel the fire 😀. So thanks man.
@@paulstaffordcook8799 well I'm flattered hahaha! I took something from you as well, I restrung my Junior with 11s and tuned it down a step, happy days!
Gorgeous guitar, you make it sound amazing 👏
Thank you Q Tips 👍
Yay, it looks beautiful. Sounds great too .😊
Thank you JON 👍
Amazing demo
Thanks James! Cheers
Great playing man!!
Thanks, appreciated 👍
I just newly discovered your channel because I was looking for some dim run stuff, which I also found that you did a great video on. Now I’m just hanging around and watching all your videos because you are such an awesome melodidic and musical player . I’ll steal a bit here and there 😊
Well thank you Martin! That makes me smile. Comments like that make it a pleasure to post on TH-cam. 😊
I really warmed to you and your enthusiasm along with feeling envious of your confident playing and terrific licks. I've fallen out of love with guitar playing but you have really rekindled that fire again. I am from Scotland too but have lived OS for many many moons. Kudos to you and you've earnt a new subbie. Oh and I really want to rip your licks ... they are terrific!
Ah, thank you Spawn Dooley, what a lovely comment 👍. Appreciated mate. Well I wish you many happy hours practicing. And yes, feel free to steal the licks, as I’m sure I probably pinched them from someone else 🤣
Beautiful guitar Paul. Killer sounding - and so versatile for only having one pickup. Nice.
Thanks man! Your own Junior video played a part in pushing me in that direction. So cheers mate 👍
I wish you long life and good health to enjoy it. It sounds wonderful and the playing is great, as usual.
Thank you Paul. And of course, you’re no stranger to a Junior 😀🤘
@@paulstaffordcook8799 Saw Mountain in 1970, was deaf for four days and haven't looked back. Hahahahahaha
Lovely guitar in great hands. Loved the voodoo chile section in your style.
Thank you MarkTheCard 👍
Lovely review, fantastic tone and super-classy playing. I love Juniors... That stripped down machine is everything rock'n'roll should be about. Magic Walsh outro. Thank you for posting.
Thanks Ian 👍
The Life's Been Good jam at the end is appropriate... Awesome sounds, as usual. It sounds like a keeper.
Thanks Craiger, glad you liked my Junior 👍😊
congrats to the new guitar! :)
Thank you wonderpope 👍. I’m loving it
That guitar was definitely made for you. The Jr's are amazing. Hope you're enjoying it mate, cheers
Thanks Daniel! Yes, it’s a joy to have it. I’m a very lucky boy. (And sorry for late reply - mad busy week).
A beautiful basic guitar, played beautifully. Congrats and enjoy Paul!
Thank you Rick, delighted you like my new toy 😀👍
Nice playing Paul, and nice guitar!
Cheers Jeff 👍
Paul, for some reason this video came and went without my seeing it before it's just popping up today. Man, the look on your face says it all my friend! What a great sounding guitar and you do it justice!
Thanks Chuck! I just watched it back myself, because it’s been a while! My hair! What the heck is going on there?🤣
Great guitar. Adventurous also. I just bought the same one - a CS vintage cherry Junior.😊
Sweet sweet sweet, so inspiring Paul, makes me want to try and try again albeit a little restricted with my hand at the moment.
Thank you Neil. Just remembered, Hendrix played a Strat with his teeth.... that could be your new thing Neil. So next time I see you, that’s what we work on 🤣
You are a real Player Paul, Keep Rocking? Jr. sounds awesome!
Thank you Ianney Mayfield, appreciated👍
How are you not more famous holy super cool licks really out of the box blues stuff insane
Lovely guitar, looking forward to hearing it through the Vox.
Thank you Paul, me too 👍
I don't know if you still have this guitar, but you really spoke truth in words and music.
Thank you Jamie! I’m delighted to read your comment. And I’m pleased to say yes, I still have it and still love it. Cheers Jamie 👍
Nice one Paul man! great review and excellent guitarist too...At last someone who can play ...specially the Junior...my favourite guitar. cheers paul.
Delighted you liked my wee vid 👍
Great playing, great solo face also!
Thanks Ian 😀
Congrats Paul
Thanks man, I’m delighted with it 👍
Great video, Thanks man. I have a 2011 GLPJ & I love it.
Thank you Sammy, cheers 👍
Congrats on the new Junior Paul. Looks and sounds great! As a side note, I've watched several of your videos and have been truly moved by some of the music you've played on that Strat. I think you should keep it if you can swing it. You may regret having parted with it down the line. Anyway, I have a '59 Junior and man do I love that guitar. They are simple perfection. Cheers!
Thank you David, I’m delighted to hear you liked my Strat videos.... My Dad has Strats so I’m sure he’ll let me borrow one for a video now and again. My Strat is now on its way to its new owner, who I hope will love it. You say you have a ‘59 Junior? Man, I’d LOVE a guitar from that golden era .... If I ever get a windfall i may treat myself to something vintage. Thanks David, cheers for watching my wee videos 👍😀
Wow just Wow Paul, i can see You Wont be Putting This Guitar Down Much Your the Master of Tone and Feel....Well Deserved My Friend Looking Forward to Hearing more from This Girl Behind the Bar 😂👍🎸
Ha ha, yes my analogies were running wild in that video 🤣. Cheers Barry, I’m sure this channel will see more of it!
Brilliant guitar, amazing playing skill! Well done bro, I am an SG player and I was looking for this beast! You make it sound holllllllow, woody and spiritual sweet tone!!!
Thank you Bill, delighted you liked the vid! And I dig your choice of adjectives 😊
@@paulstaffordcook8799 The Junior sounds very special and unique. I would say a Gibson "Tele" or an angry les paul.. but..you know it has some personal sweetness that it does not like other guitar, strange!! A completely different personality, which I really dig and the Custom Shop is really good!
i would love to listen more, you playing that beautiful tones with this gem! You are really great player, I love your style!
That makes my wee Scottish heart swell with pride. Thanks Bill 🙏
Super killer guitar!
Awsome guitar!
Thanks, I love it. Cheers
My Favorite Ever!! this guitar is infinity and beyond
Well thank you LoveLisaRap 👍
Dig It! I own a Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Junior as well..and absolutely LOVE IT!
Hey, we’re “Junior twins” 🤘. Yeah, there’s some real mojo in them! Cheers for watching my wee vid.
Fantastic playing there! Already trying to steal some of your riffs :D
Thanks Steve 😊
Beautiful, looks like a great neck: enjoy ! Awesome tones... Nice drop D playing btw ;-)
Thank you Cool Rene👍.
Sounds great bud 👍
Thanks man 👍👋
You play it so well. Love my 57 historic. Mine was previously owned by an alt rock god and he put a ‘50s style wind Lindy Fralin in there and it is so sweet. Pure and yet so dirty.
Thanks Richard 👍
Love the minimalist feel of a single pickup guitar...but only in the hands of an accomplished, inspiring player such as yourself! :) I’d only recently discovered the beauty of these dog ear P90s through a goldtop Casino I found. It was so good that when I saw another gold Korean-made Casino I just had to buy that one too.
Thank you for your kind words Gary, delighted you’re a fan of the dog ear P90. And buying a second guitar on the strength of the first? Love it!
@@paulstaffordcook8799 and thanks to you, Paul, I just pulled the trigger and bought a Lukas Nelson signature, one of the last ones I could find online. :p BTW, loved your Clint Eastwood analogy!
nicely done sir!
Thank you kindly Chris 👍😀
@@paulstaffordcook8799 you are a fantastic guitar player, the way you roll off the volume and change the tones sir, really, really highlight the guitar, i just bought a les paul special single p-90 and vol/tone knobs and you demonstrated the tonal varieties you can get out of a similar beast really well! greetings from kamloops, bc, canada sir!
Well thank you for that lovely compliment, appreciated! And I wish you many happy hours with your new Les Paul Special 🤘. On a different note - Kamloops! Wow, what an amazing part of the world you live in. I’ve actually been to Kamloops (and Bella Coola, etc.). I have a life long facination with bears - long story. Magnificent and memorable solo trip.
Excellent !
Paul 🙈 I must have one bud, 👍🏻 great playing as always 👍🏻
Thanks Moose. Yes, I’m a lucky boy.
I think I might just be your 6000th sub :-) Love your playing!
Thank you Painkilla! I’m just catching up with my TH-cam comments. I think you’re right! Well thank you man, appreciated.
That guitar is a beauty. I find the p90 to be the most expressive of any pickups. So sweet, such growl.
great sounding guitar
Thanks Littleclay 👍
Superb.
Thank you David 👍😀
What a great guitar
Thank you Spruce Lee👍
Holy shit man you have hands. Some people you can just tell immediately and you're one of them. You have good feel. Im trying like hell to get there. My favorite Leslie west loved them.
Thank you Chuck! Delighted you think I fall into that category, cheers 🍻. And yes, Leslie West managed to coax monster sounds out of his Juniors. He was a joy to listen to.
Such a pristine sound Paul! Like a grande piano.
Feeds back like you could conjure it at will.
I've just listened to some of the new ACDC album and being an old Aussie bogan, loved it!
They know how to dial in old school Marshall tones to the enth degree.
Sounds to me like angus' rythym parts are largely P90 on it.
Great sound!!
All the best
Thank you Mark! Yeah, I’m loving it. Cheers for watching mate 👍
Killer guitar man! I have a regular run Jr and it's sounds awesome!
Thank you Ronniejoe69
Love the video. Like you Paul,, I have a good many quality guitars (& a Cornell Romany!) I was searching for a VOS in 2013 and couldn't find one for a sensible price in the UK. Following a search online I found a lovely VOS Custom Shop Junior in a store in America. I contacted them and they shipped it to me for a nominal price. I thought that £1,600.00 at the time (2013) was a lot of money but I wouldn't swap my Junior now or anything! Such a wonderful well-made guitar with a classic sound. Thanks for the note about the Gibson's 'i' touching the 'G' I never knew that.
Thanks Applemanuk, looks like we both love our Juniors. Cheers
Very, I mean very, very tasty playing. So every guitar/amp sounds..what surprise..very, very good.
Thank you trilogyopus 🙏.
Paul... Once again I say ,"OH MY GOD" Ya got it mate. Ya do it justice ;0) you absolutely feel it.
Thank you RPM Blues! Appreciated 👍
Paul,
I was remiss in not acknowledging your great review of the '57 reissue over several videos. The tunes utilize great chord structures and great solo. Nice also is the spaces you leave - tension. You totally leverage the tonal capability of the '57, but I'm a firm believer in tone being in your fingers! So, nice touch.
I've had an order in for one identical one and it arrives here in northern Ontario this coming Tuesday. Player for 50 years now and took your sentiments to heart: I'm beyond 51, can afford to buy and enjoy the perks of this caliber guitar, so I did.
Thanks for solidifying the confidence in my purchase!
Cheers from Bobcaygeon, Ontario. Cottage Country.

Well congratulations on your new guitar Rob, I’m sure you’ll have fun with it. There’s just something very raw and resonant with that wrap over tailpiece arrangement. I love it. Enjoy your own new guitar day 😊
@@paulstaffordcook8799 Thank you Paul!
I love that - "lets hope its not a pair of shoes".
7:26 “I Feel Free" love that tone!
Thanks Oscar 👍
happy new guitar, life's been good to you too eh ? (yea i saw what you did there ) pmsl i'll be sorry to see the strat go, but at the end of the day, it's whatever gives you pleasure and makes you happy that counts. always liked the simplicity of the junior, especially when it doesn't have the wings on the headstock, really must treat myself to something with P90's. enjoy my fecebook friend and thanks for posting :)
Thank you Charlie! Yes, I feel like a kid at Christmas again. I might just have a wee shot of it before I have my cornflakes this morning 🤣
Sounds more rock n roll than anything you have , no frills. Love it!
Thanks Daniel! Yeah, I like your summary. Such a raw, raucous sound. 👍
Hi Paul, it's great to see that you love it so much, that immediately makes it a worthwhile purchase! First impression it looks very simple and plain, not my style at all, especially the machine heads, oddly shaped plastic pick guard, but the pickup does look authentic! The rosewood fingerboard looks lovely, almost ebony like, and the sunburst finish looks nice. It sounds good, but I don't know if I heard a tone that is not available on any of your other guitars, although it obviously inspires you to play Joe Walsh, nice funky, raunchy feel! For me it's like a first real guitar you'd buy before graduating to a Les Paul, a 'no frills' workhorse you could rely on, like a telecaster, great for stage, and keep your good guitar safe at home where it belongs!😁😁. Seriously, I'm looking forward to a wee shot of it, but I'll bring a Strat with me just in case! Cheers Paul, enjoy!!
I’m smiling.... totally see where you’re coming from. And I’m sure some of my subscribers will agree. On a related note, I’m looking forward to putting a couple of your Strats through their paces on my channel! So that’s something we can line up in due course. Cheers Dad. And wait ‘till you feel the neck on that Junior! It’s like a baseball bat 🤣
Paul, thanks for sharing this video with us. I am big fan of the Les Paul Jr., I have the Gibson USA production model and I can clearly hear the difference between the different models. I have an R9 so I know quality you get from a Custom Shop Les Paul and I think it is worth the price. I can see myself getting this guitar in the future. Thanks again.
Thank you Tim, glad you enjoyed my wee review. Yes, after having owned this guitar for a while now, I can safely say that there’s some special mojo to it. It’s party piece is to set it up for a nice crunch tone at around no. 6 on its volume pot…. And then wind to 10 for some of that famous fat growl that Junior’s are so good at. It makes me laugh out loud every time I do it🤘
Cool beans. Thanks Paul.
Thank you Christian 👍
Enjoyed the intro. 03:10 that happy kid grinding smile... 😊 Got the same feeling with my new guitar 😁. Oh and Paul, my PRS hasn’t got push-pull thinggies thank you! 😂
Ha ha, your comment has me smiling 🤣. Yes, I have the deepest respect for PRS. And having owned a lovely PRS Santana Retro, I agree they are quality through and through. I still think Clint would choose the Junior though 🤣
Nice vampin', per usual!
Thank you getenlightened 👍
I have the exact same guitar.. easy to fall in love with... every home should have one... mans best friends..... a dog... an old wife...and a Les Paul Junior
Love it! Yeah, that description about sums it up perfectly 🤣
thank you
SOUNDS JUST AS GOOD AS ONE'S FROM THE 50'S
Thanks Deniel 👍
Just got my TV Junior! Love it
Congratulations Ezyrider 🥂. Enjoy.
@@paulstaffordcook8799 thanks Paul. Bc of the Covid , I waited a year and it’s a TV model, however the color is more olive than yellow , ( I’m liking that, looks nothing like my TV Special. And the neck is huge , as is the tone! Weight is perfect and surprisingly. the stock gears work and hold great ….I’d post a pic if I knew ( old guy here lol
Well I’m delighted you like it. Going by your description, I’m thinking I’d love it too 👍
only a few times in life do you see someone look this natural while playing I wish you lived in north America.
Well thank you man, I really appreciate that. Cheers 🍻
Congrats Paul. That's a good axe for the reasons you mentioned.
I did something similar last year when I bought the Epiphone Jared James Nichols sig. I have an R8, a Mulecaster, a Kotzen Telecaster, but I play that JJN as much as any of them because it's so simple and has a wonderful chunky neck. You do have to do your own fret cleanup but that's worth $2k in my book.
Sounds like a cool collection of guitars you have there! And yes, when you do the maths I reckon that’s a fair point you’re making about the fret cleanup 🤣. Cheers Ivor
I have the same guitar too.
Custom sounds very nice
