I'm excited as heck with them. I love some of the new epiphones that have come out... I've always been an SG guy at heart... I love the P90's! This is my first guitar with them... man to they scream.

I like those Epi SG Specials. I played a red one at GC that I almost walked out with. Those bolt-neck Juniors look like good slide guitars.

Wow, congrats, they look great! How's the neck balance on those?

Super cool DNGD! Is the headstock really that much bigger on the P90 SG?

How do they sound? How do they compare?

Far out. I've never seen those colors or models before.

All that junior SG needs to complete the picture would be the fitting of a P-94.

That is a far out idea! Once the tinkering bug hits me that may have to happen!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

DrumBob... I had the same exact experience.... I went in to play around and found a red one on the shelf... i sat there and played for a while and had to tell myself... "NO! It is almost Christmas! Be Good! Besides they make it in TV YELLOW..." I'm glad I held out!

Jvanoot: The balance is pretty good. I don't let it bother me too much. One of my first guitars was an Epi SG special w/ a really neck heavy build. These are better.

Tim:

The headstock is NOT really any bigger than the junior. It is an optical illusion. I held the Special closer to the camera. I was trying to play around with the camera and get the Special in focus and the Junior slightly out of focus. So no, they are both the same size. And I actually think they are smaller than most of the headstocks i've seen on older epiphones (could be just my imagination there though)

Both of these babys sound amazing. I put the Special (P90) through a bunch of different settings and it sounds sweet, crunchy, and will wail if you let it! The neck is definitely a thin thickness (as compared to some huge D necks) and a wider fretboard. It plays very very smoothly.

The Junior has a nice neck and the pickup sounds great. Sweet sounds come out of this thing. I am still learning how to play with the tone to shape the sounds I want! I definitely like the simplicity though!

I'm in love with both right now. I think I may have to refer to them as Mistress 1 and Mistress 2!

Indeed you do!

I put D'Addario 10's on mine last night. It's more snappy. It's snappier. Snappification!

That's a beautiful pair that you have there. I love the history behind TV Yellow.
