My son and I finished off our 59 Les Paul jnr build yesterday. Really happy with how it turned out, it sounds and plays great.

I used it last night with my new plexi clone and barely touched a pedal all night.

I’m a sucker for a simple control layout. I seem to play better and more confidently with just a single volume and tone control. Maybe it helps me focus.

Thanks for the kind words dudes. It was super fun to make and we a wrapt on how great it turned out. The P90 we wound sounds all bitey and killer.

as an aside: How do you like the Ceriatone? I am looking to pull the trigger on a 50 watt Bass head of theirs next year some time but have also been interested lately in their 20w Lead and Bass lunchbox and the 2202HW lunchbox.
