Hmm.
Well, if I were to get the Epiphone LP Junior purely for its looks, I'd also save up to upgrade 4 main areas:
1. tuners (get those that are at least die-cast)
2. pickup (preferably an SD Phat Cat?)
3. bridge (Leo Quan Badass should do the trick)
4. Nut (switch to brass or bone)
And to top it off, drop a few droplets of lacquer into the screw holes at the bolt-on neck-joint area plus add a wee bit of candle wax to the screws to prevent any moisture entering and swelling at the neck joint.
Then again the overall cost after modding might not be worth it's weight in tone. :roll:
