No way inferior to the standard.
Someone thinks that non-standard Gibson guitars are less valuable than the standard. Apart of the lack of binding, and the cheaper pickups, they are the same guitar. Great Gibson sound, classic bass voice and also rich of middle tone. I put Seymour Duncan III Pro Slash signature replacing pick-ups and it works divinely. Guns n Roses and AC/DC come easely out from them.

no, they are not... I did not get my SG standard for the binding (I do not care about such a small detail), all the standards I played sounded and felt generally better than the glossy specials, more work was put into the neck shape and joint. And the really good standards smoke on the best specials. Sorry. I would put my Standard against your special any day of the week. The tone test would be irrelevant as I modded mine a bit to get MY sound, just like you modded yours and they will sound VERY different I am sure... but everyone who plays my standard makes me an offer to buy it, and its not the BEST standard I have played.
The major up side of a non-gloss gibby is that you won't stick to the nek when you sweat, but your sweat is penetrating the lacker thanks to the poorly prepared wood of the faded or worn finish and its fcking with the mahogany's stability. No joke. The acid in your hand will penetrate a thin coat of lacquer and its not good for the wood.

I understand what you want to say. I didn't want to say that they are the SAME, I would say they are to similar in the sound. As regards the paint, the non-glossy finish are better for the wood because they allow the wood to breathe. In any case, in my opinion can't exist only one think, everyone has his taste and it's right! grez

One pick-up?!? YES, it's all you need to have (if it is a P90).
Much easier to build than its older sister but not less as performance. Great massive mohogany neck, soft succulent rosewood fingerboard, solid mohogany body and an imponent P90 near the bridge. This is the recipe for one of the most elementary and in the same time best guitar is ever built.

I like to refer to the lp junior as a caveman guitar.... in a good way, of course

Awesome clean tone and smooth dynamic. It loses the bright when you switch on drive channel.
It is a very good amplifier if you are looking for a versatile machine. Some of the drive emulations have an unpleasant buzzing. You can set pre-gain and post-gain. Perfect blues tones if you set it in the right way.

Peavey high gain tube amps sound like nothing but unpleasant buzzing to me, so hey, why not get the vypyr and save a buck

@jimmarchi1 A friend of mine gave it to me because he had to much amps in his life.

It's a really good machine, compared with the cost it is outstanding!
It really has a lot of possibilities inside, no hum or noise. Nice voice, great woofer with an energetic dynamic and tones. It has two channels, one clean and one drive (with about 10 typical effective emulators). I advise it too much! I got it 3 years ago and it never disappoints me.

they aren't really woofers in guitar amps.... you could sue them as woofers, but woofers typically roll off sharply around 4.5khz and have really extended lows while most guitar speakers aren't useable lower than like 50hz but have extended treble response that rolls off a lot less steeply

@jimmarchi1 Ok, I was speaking about the good sound it has, compared with its similars...
