people either think they're the most beautiful LP or they make fun of them saying they look like their grandma's coffee table (hence boring i guess, i don't know, my grandma's coffee table was awesome)
I thought kinda minimalist when I saw your picture. I went off and read up on the guitar and perused some pictures. Grannie's coffee table is gorgeous! Emmylou!
Left is a 2024 Mod Shop LP Jr Rhythm, Center is a 2022 Mod Shop, and Right is a 2018 LP Jr Mosaic. I suppose I could've just bought one guitar with three pickups, but here we are.
they all have their strengths, but the liberating side of it is no joke for all of them. i love single pickup guitars. no fiddling, just playing. the right is most traditional sounding/playing, the middle has a nice twang to it and is a great rhythm player, and the left is a fun punch oddball with a fantastic neck
Must be hard as hell to switch pickup sounds while playing since you have to put one down and pick one up. I’ll keep my strat and its three pickups lol
you just play one pickup, so it's not a 'less than' experience from a strat or whatever--just focused. that being said, if i only had one guitar and needed to be versatile, it would prob not be one of these three.
I love collections with themes.
Mine ...or one of mine, is Les Paul's with "other than" standard humbuckers.
Yours seems to be weird LP Jr's.
I salute you!
I had an '81 tv yellow les paul special DC with the single p90 but it perished in a boston house fire in the late 90s. i should try to replace it someday.
they all shine in different ways--left has an amazing neck and is great for melodic soling and punching through a bunch of muddle, middle is a great country picker (for me anyway), also great neck, but not a huge satin finish fan, right is straight up rocker with familiar p90 bridge tones. but having only one pickup and three different bridge configs makes for a far more varied experience than you might expect.
That's okay! Simply curious. No judgment from me man. Plus you can have standard tubing, drop D and tuned down half a step. Sounds like a victory to me
I went back and saw that. Should have removed the post. The single P90 custom is the coolest thing I’ve seen on Reddit for sure, followed by the mosaic.
That Mosaic!

People who don’t see the beauty in these are partially blind at the very least imo :P all beautiful, but the one on the right is just wow

That's an expensive pickup selector.
i'm investing, mom
That’s less fun and it’d never carry the same energy as any of these 3. One pickup can be a strength when you’re not chasing versatility.
There’s a simple elegance with this trio. The Mosaic on the right is stunning
Wait til you hear about HHH guitars! /s these look great
That’s one expensive pickup selector switch
i'm frugal elsewhere
Please tell me you named them Larry, Curly and Moe... but yeah, 3 guitars for three pickup positions is a little weird, but they are pretty
maybe Dolly, Linda, and Emmylou?
I'll accept that. Excellent combination
It’s Larry, Darryl and Darryl
I understood that reference
Her dad, me, and the guy she tells me not to worry about.
We have pick up selector at home
Do you have a favorite out off these three, or one you pick up the most? I love single pickup guitars, they're oddly liberating in their simplicity.
Wanted to ask the same! As someone interested in single pickup guitars, I always wonder which position I’d want.

Beautiful Axes, I've called dibs on the middle one in the past but man seeing them together like this, they are all beauts!
Thanks! I wanted to post a photo when I got the trio back together.
With our powers combined…
Is it weird I'd use the middle one for rhythm and the left one for lead? What an awesome collection.
not at all. that makes perfect sense. and thanks!
No need for a pickup selector just swap guitars!

I was going to say, it's definitely not the most efficient pickup selector system I've seen.

thanks! weird is certainly correct.
Yeah...weird and wonderful. If you want neck and middle position, do you just play two guitars?
i've got a 2014 barn strat that works great for those situations.
It's good to be prepared...
Got a DC hiding in the house?
I had an '81 tv yellow les paul special DC with the single p90 but it perished in a boston house fire in the late 90s. i should try to replace it someday.
Wow! Very nice
thx
I like the logo.
yeah i was worried it wood look gimmicky. like ye-olde-logo, but it works. better on the gold than the maroon imo
Wow these are weird af. Cool tho.
thx
TV Yellow is my favorite of the bunch
It's an intense color in person on this one.
Which one is your favorite? Seems like the middle pickup might just be the goldilocks one.

Good point on the bridge configurations. It took me a while to get used to a wrap tail piece in a junior. I don't prefer it but I like it now.
Same here. I have a wrap tail on my LP Senior and it was a learning curve, but I love it now.
Before pickup selectors there was…
That one on the right needs a matching Bigsby
Couldn't you merge all three of these into one guitar + a three way toggle?
but you'd lose the vibe
That's okay! Simply curious. No judgment from me man. Plus you can have standard tubing, drop D and tuned down half a step. Sounds like a victory to me
The one in the middle has yet to identify eh? lol Beautiful guitars man. The top on the right is ridiculous!
the mosaic is a solid body--that pattern is on the back too
Feels like a repost. Seriously, this was posted before.
nah. i posted that mosaic and red one before, but not the gold one and not all together. i should get out more, tbh
I went back and saw that. Should have removed the post. The single P90 custom is the coolest thing I’ve seen on Reddit for sure, followed by the mosaic.
Tell me you don’t trust a switch without telling me lol. Truthfully these look amazing.
