That is a cool take on an LP Junior. I would guess PCM or very early SLM.

BTW nice looking Strat. I am sure their is info around on them but I am a bit tired to search for it now. I will look in the am if I get a chance.

I posted about the LP one in the unknown or unidentified section. It is much different in form, finish and electronics as this one. http://www.rivercityamps.com/electrapag ... 024-020458

2275n-these have great ,chimey maxon single coils with braided conductors. These seem much classier to me than the models with the mod style logo.

It looks legit to me. Here is a photo from EF2012, where strats with ALL THREE logos are represented:

pretty cool! The rarest is probably the one on the far left with the 'goofy' logo.

8) These are indeed nice players and the logo is inlaid and looks nice. I had a chance at one some time back but missed the opportunity and someone else snagged it. These have great tone and nice wood also. :up:

To quote Montgomery Burns... "Ehhhhx-sell-nt!!" (I tented my fingers before typing that.)

It came on Monday. I was really impressed with the aesthetics of it, gorgeous guitar. And unplugged, it plays like a dream - the thinner neck is a great change of pace from my X340 neck. However... the middle pickup is very very quiet, almost no sound. One of the other original pickups was replaced and the wiring was redone. The bridge and neck pickups didn't sound too bad, but not phenomenal either. I took it to my guitar tech to test the outputs and give it a good setup. Hopefully it'll be back next week and sound a little better. If all else fails, I may put some Seymour Duncan pickups in there. All in all, I'm pretty happy with it for $300!
