It's the 15-fret neck joint, short scale, and narrow nut that changes things. Not for better or worse, but a change nonetheless. The more compact design and shorter scale made for a much more forgiving instrument to those young up-and-comers; yet some 65 years later, they've earned respect in the vintage community as a great alternative to the Fullerton-made equivalents.

No surprise here, but the original P90 in this guitar absolutely rips! It's got great output and combination of chime and grunt that have made many a Junior-style guitar a go-to option for rock tones, slide work, and beyond. The original small fretwire remains in great shape and feels great in hand, and the narrow nut combined with the full C profile makes for a super fun playing experience. The volume pot was replaced prior to our acquisition, and it received a new nut, but remains otherwise original.

If you're a fan of vintage student model electrics like we are, you'll absolutely love this one. It might be 3/4 of a Junior on paper, but it's got 100% of the tone, look, and feel.
