Although it shows expected wear for a 65 year old guitar, it's clear that it was well cared for over the years. The original Cherry finish is still rich and vibrant with minimal fading, and the original frets still feel great under-hand after some light TLC here in our shop.

What's most impressive, perhaps, is the tone of the original P90 pickup. It's putting out a staggering 10.78k output, and plugging it in for the first time, it's easy to understand how powerful this Junior really is. It's got a noticeable amount of low end and low mid response that gives this "100 Watt" feel, if that makes sense. Even with the added tonal weight, it lacks nothing in terms of clarity and cut, just like a great old Junior should.

With the exception of a replaced nut, the guitar remains otherwise factory original. It's paired with an aftermarket hardshell case that offers nice protection in lieu of those original gator chipboards that often came with these guitars. We're also including a photo of the original owner in his teens, seated with this very guitar.
