    I really appreciate you let players play their revived guitars at the end of the videos. It's always exactly the style players that would do that to their guitars and they play the coolest stuff! I guess most is own material? This guy was really something special man! Love your videos.

      As someone who is a huge punk rock fan I am one of those people, the reason is just the history, someone played the shit out of that and personalized it so it feels a little sad to take all that away. It's better if some kid played it and covered it in stickers and spray paint then to lean it in a corner and never play it again ya know

    Nice job on that LP Junior. Plywood body, P-90 and no frills. Great rock guitar. Nice wide neck. I liked that you kept the dings in the guitar. I would've foil taped the control cavity because those Epi P-90's can get a bit noisy when using a ton of distortion but otherwise, you brought a classic back to life. Well done!

    • @tonyennis1787

      Do you think they used "tone plywood" or "normal plywood"? Most people don't know that the only difference between the two is that the former uses "tone glue" to hold the layers together.

    I technically still have one of these reissues from the 90s. Great guitars but hard to find now. I made the mistake of smashing mine on stage back in the day. The odd thing is, even for a double cut jr, is the fretboard of mine didn't go into the body at all, so the pickguard is just covering a slab of wood known as the neck. That's the only difference between this one and mine lol
