This is indeed how I lost the Junior, straight swap. :) It's more like Grandad's axe, not a lot of original bits on it. It had some high gain Seymour Duncan p90s in there when I got it, but I've swapped them out for some Antiquities when I did a rewire on it. Whilst it's a bit of a mongrel, I love it, and despite the weight will happily play it for a 4 hour gig.

That surprises me. Bet it's not that heavy compared to some.

Anyway, here's mine. Just the R7 on the right. Not too heavy at all.
