Single Sunday (morning)

Spent some time this morning with the Junior. This is a 2013 model, totally brand new from the store. I would usually avoid such a guitar because:

• It's not humbucking, the default pickup type doesn't offer a convenient replacement for a humbucker either.
• Bridge isn't intonation-friendly
• small tuner buttons

However, the fact that it's a single pickup guitar proved to be more of an attraction rather than a repulsion. The humbucker there is a dog-ear type P-90 pickup & it sounded fat. A very convincing fatness, able to pull off some heavy stuff with it, it's also very receptive to high gain settings so it's a winner despite not being my preference to begin with. There's a pair of intonation screws there to compensate further intonation should the need arises but the manufacturer promises no intonation issues with the provision of a ridged bridge. I trust the PRS version & this one isn't a let-down.Those small tuners are forgettable once the tone & playability are in check. It's the coming of age for me, opting for simplicity & effectiveness over some flashy features that don't manifest talent. I had a good morning :-)
