J1 JUNIOR double cutAWAY

Premium grade mahogany or Spanish cedar is selected for the J1 junior. The double cutaway and offset design gives easy access to the top frets while maintaining excellent balance on the strap. The neck is carved from quarter sawn mahogany or Spanish cedar, creating a very stable neck with a great feel. A rosewood fingerboard adds a warmth to the tone with each board being carefully selected for its rich, dark colour. The colour is sprayed after applying the grain filler and sealer, followed by many thin coats of clear cellulose lacquer. After a minimum of two weeks drying time the guitar is cut back to 800grit then 1200grit and finally polished to a high gloss or low lustre.

All hardware is high quality, and includes an ABM aluminium wraparound bridge with a perfect intonation curve and outstanding sound characteristics. The vintage style Kluson ‘Butterbean’ button tuners allow fine tuning and smooth operation. The guitar is fitted with two high quality RS Guitarworks 500k CTS pots with a Superpot for the volume both with very even tapers. A 50’s wiring scheme is used in all our guitars to minimises treble loss when rolling back the volume.

A Bare Knuckle ‘Nantucket’ dogear P90 is fitted to capture the sound of those early LP jr playing blues and rock guitarist. It can also produces a great country tele twang. The wide, squat coil creates a fatter tone compared to a Strat or Tele coil, while the twin magnet design lends all the power of a humbucker. Low notes are solid and tight while the upper mids really grind, but they never sound harsh; just fat and chunky. High notes can really sing and with a slightly breaking-up tube amp, wonderful harmonic feedback is possible. A touch sensitive dynamic and the ability to clean up well as the volume is backed off.

The J1 junior sounds and feels every bit as good as it looks.
