IMG_7824 by Jack Breeding, on FlickrI missed out on these back in the day, occasionally have seen them around but never in a position to pick one up.
Until last night.
IMG_7825 by Jack Breeding, on FlickrIt's a rarebird, only 250 made, and was already in the Registry from an ebay sighting 5 years ago.
IMG_7826 by Jack Breeding, on FlickrAll the specs are well documented here https://www.ggjaguar.com/asatjr.htm with more info here http://www.yowhatsshakin.com/yowhatssha ... unior.html
but in brief, this was a 'for fun' model that Dave and John came up with in 1998 based on the idea of the Les Paul Jr. Chambered hog body, hog neck, ebony board. I love just about every color they've come up with in Fullterton but for some reason the guitars I come across are almost always red and black...
IMG_7828 by Jack Breeding, on FlickrNote the CCD 'sticker' on the back of the headstock. Well before they started inlaying the Custom Shop logo in walnut. This one seems to have had all it's data wiped off or perhaps faded over time. It used to show the date of completion and had Johnny's signature on it.

These pics are just from the auction, I'll take better ones when it arrives and pull the neck to get the dates in the Registry.
