Best Cheap Junior

Post by rhythmjones » Sun Oct 15, 2023 8:47 am

I've a hankering for a LP Jr. But I want to keep it on the cheap, but still be good. I'll likely swap out the pickup so just need a good playing one.

The Epiphone is about $450 new and the Slick SL59 double cut is about $250 on sale right now.

Any good recommendations for another one that's good and cheap.

Thanks!

Harley Benton SC- or DC-Junior.
Multiple cool finish options and the choice between a fat and skinny neck.
Probably the best you can get for 200 bucks.

They also do an SG if that’s your style:
