I think everyone should own at least one single-pickup guitar. whether it's a LP Junior, a Frankenstrat, an Esquire, or even a Malcom Young Gretch.... there's something liberating about a single pickup guitar. It's like when you play an acoustic, you don't go reaching for the eq knobs and constantly change the tone.... you alter your picking attack, palm muting, and do more with the NOTES than the electronics after the strings.
There's nothing quite as cool as being in a groove on a single pickup guitar, plugged direct into an amp, and spending your time watching the other players for when to hit transitions rather than looking down at your instrument.

+1. I love my Junior and it's not nearly as limited as many believe. I'm not sure if it's the simplified wiring, the extra wood around the neck or what, but I can get more sounds from the bridge pup on the Jr than I can the bridge pup on most other guitars.
Maybe you just adapt and learn the techniques need to use it, but I only occaissionally miss a neck pickup on that guitar...which is odd, because most other guitars, I use the neck pickup far more than the bridge. ???

i think it's just a matter of learning how to use the volume and tone controls. many players forget this and just change to a different pickup or get into unnecessary gear swapping.

Yeah, it's their version of a Les Paul Jr. They're calling it the Sensei Jr. I play the neck pickup quite a bit so I don't think it would work for me.

That right don't you forget it. Stupid auto-correct.

I've been plenty guilty of unecessary swapping myself.
Now that I'm getting a (slightly) better handle on the guitar and spend more time with actual players, I'm learning what's meant by "tone is in the hands."

If tone is in the fingers, why do I sound best on acoustic guitar?
Because acoustic guitars sound better than electric guitars?

Possibly, are you bringing it down? Or the Jerstream?

I have no idea. Right before I'll put up a list of what I've got and what people will want to check out. I'm going to bring my Emerald for sure though. Jetstream will NOT be sold though. Ever. I love it.
