why does your LPjr have an angled bridge and Robs cherry red LPjr not?

I may be wrong but I think it's because the '54 has a smooth bridge, like a regular old stopbar, and the angle of it causing the strings to break at different lengths is what intonates it. The bridge on Rob's one has the little ridges on it like saddles, which is what intonates the strings, and there's no need for it to be angled. Although, I believe that kind of wraparound bridge also has a screw that allows it to be angled and more finely adjusted if need be.

Drool! Beautiful guitar opsguy. Noob question but why does your LPjr have an angled bridge and Robs cherry red LPjr not?

57 years of difference. Actually, LP Juniors never existed with a lightning bar bridge and a single cutaway in the past. They are what they are new - Robs cool little hot rod is essentially "standard issue".

Early '61 is the latest I have seen an angled stop wrap around and that was of course on an SG style body. My '56 special has an angled bridge and before I put the Faber on it G was always a tad sharp when both E's were bang on. Hence why Gibbo wen t the way of the lightning bar (looks like a lightning bolt...I say bar, you say bolt...etc).

A few more pics for those who may be interested. One showing the body with the pickguard off. Pickup with wraptail shot and one showing the bridge post lean that Glyn corrected.

What a neat guitar! Good score

Here's my Epiphone Casino, matched to a little Univox combo from the early 70s.
This guitar can generate some crazy vibrations when it gets the feedback going.

Cool. Don't often see the Casino in that turquoise colour. The original style Sunburst or Iced Tea with the dark, walnut coloured back and sides would be my first choice, but I reckon I'd rank Turquoise ahead of natural and cherry. Is yours still stock? I quite enjoyed my old Casino, but just wasn't using it and the feedback with my Deluxe Reverb was a bit annoying.

Wicked colour!

[fyrbyrd]

yes, the casino is stock, except that the P90s were potted, ie, dipped in wax, as the feedback was mental when I first got it. that, and some foam in the f hole seems to have got the feedback under control.

My new American Standard Strat. I love this thing to bits.
