I don't think you should buy this guitar.
You should "adopt" it.
It's the caring, and compassionate thing to do.
On a side note:
Coincidentally, I tried to buy the blue stain special DC at Guitar center this morning before I even discovered this thread. I could not buy it. As it turns out, the two they have are floor models, one in Hawaii, and the other in Alaska. Due to corporate policy, and due to Covid-19 they can't ship them from those two locations. I could add them to cart, but checkout gave me a big (-). I talked to CS twice trying to make it happen. Doesn't look good, but waiting for the final word.
GC FWIW does have a Gibson Les Paul Junior Tribute DC Electric Guitar Worn Ebony, but I don't know if there are any shipping issues, or where the guitars are located.

Actually that's the one I tried to buy this morning before I ever discovered this thread. It's in Alaska, and they won't ship it. I talked to the store that has it. They are not allow to ship out of state due to GC policy. He said it's the same with Hawaii.
The guy at the store said the policy is about issues with the shipping, and access for the people in those states. He would not budge. Their computer system will not allow it either.
Who has them in TV yellow? I haven't looked.

Where's reverendrob on this? He's an enabler for sure.
BTW, my profile picture is Johnny Thunder's DC Junior at the RRHOF...

Hmm, where are all the DCs that were all over Sweetwater? Nothing there at all...
MF had some and at a good price, now unavailable...

About ten years ago, I played a TV yellow DC at a Guitar Center during a Memorial Day weekend sale. It was a terrific guitar, at a great price. I walked out without buying it.
I’ve been wondering why ever since. Arggghhh!

I have a Gibson DC faded in red and it is one of my favs. Light, the pickups can sound snotty or beautiful when turned down a little. Plays great. Didn't like the yellow ones as they had fake wear that looked dumb. This is a stopbar model which is fine with me.

I have an interesting story for you guys. That Blue Stain DC I tried to buy, and couldn't, disappeared from the GC site the next day. I had saved the link on my desktop. Late in the following am I clicked on that link out of curiosity, so see if any DCs were available. To my surprise, it was back, but it was a worn cherry. I popped on it.
I came to the conclusion that GC is randomly putting them up. So I kept watching, and refreshing the page. I was also keeping an eye on the Junors.
Long story short, both the Juniors, and the special, have been randomly popping up. I purchased two more. A blue stain, and another worn Cherry.
These are too good of a deal. Especially the Specials.
So they have a Blue Stain right now.

I’ve got a worn brown SG. Great guitar, and they really captured that fecal matter vibe with the color.

First, it was TP.
Then, pasta and flour were scarce.
Now De ville is snapping up Specials and Juniors.
What does he know that we don’t?

Nope, I didn't get any Juniors. Just the Specials. What I know is they originally sold for as high as 999.99 when they first came out. There's completed listings for them on eBay in the 800.00 range new, but people are asking as high as 1200.00 for them.
These are no frills guitars, but to me a Gibson DC with P90s for 650.00 US is a steal. I love the Juniors, and Specials. Fantastic guitars. Light. And I like the flat tops too. Simple, and beautiful slab.

I was right. They're just doling a few of these out a day. They sell out, but then they reappear in the wee hours. BTW, when I said these are 650, that was with tax. 599.99 is actual price, and free shipping.

You need one, my Flying V (purple, Schecter) didn't scratch the Jr itch even though I love them both. My 2019:

Interesting, thanks for the link De Ville. I had heard the TV camera story before. From the comments someone suggest TV was a Gibson internal reference to the Telecaster. Never heard that explanation.
As far as the blue ones being sold by Guitar Center right now, they look really good. At that price it's a no brainer, but I'm holding off.....for now.

True. And my wallet tends to get a little easier to open after tequila. Now where did I put that bottle of 1800?

I was able to get a work cherry junior from GC and I ordered a worn blue special from that place in the UK. Both are on the way.
