I've been thinking about getting a LP jr. myself. Leslie West used one and his tone was huge. Pete used a SG special with P90's for Live at Leeds, and the Isle of Wight and his tone was huge there also. I don't know if any of you all have listened to the new Greenday album "American Idiot", but Billy Joe's tone is ripping mid-range all thru plexi's and modded plexi's. I've been looking and vintage LP Jr's are pricey, but you can still find LP Jr's with SG bodies 63-66 for $1500 or so. Those single pup Lp Jr's look really cool too.

I wouldnt doubt it. Im not a Green Day fan at all but I wont deny Ive found myself listening to them on the radio often because that tone he's got is great especially considering where hes at as a guitar player and the kind of music he plays. Youd never expect it. Thats probably why that thing I read about CAE stuck in my mind. I remeber seeing them on Reverb and he was playing an SG into the Marshalls and just working the volume and I thought the live sound was great.

So speaking of P-90's I found this LP Jr. and if it's still available I'm thinking it would be a nice addition to the family.
'63 LP Jr. SG body all orig. except the tuners $1425.
What do you guys think?

I got an sg with p90s and the guitar rocks!!!!!!!!
I can nail any AC/DC, Who, Free and ny Rock band of the 70's with it and the guitar sounds good with any genre of music at the flick of a pickup switch but saying that old wood is better than new wood. The SG has a fender type sound. but I swear by Gibson p90s now after using them with a vintage amplifier they sound the "dogs bollocks" Probably the p90s they make now are shite!! I don't know.
