Gibson sold the Les Paul Junior in the fifties as a student model: one pickup, a volume and a tone. Professionals found how much it could do, and it has been ruining players for other guitars since. This reissue follows the 1957 single-cut.
Solid mahogany body and neck with a 1950s Chunky D profile, an Indian rosewood board, a custom dogear P-90 wired to 500K CTS audio-taper pots and a paper-in-oil capacitor, a wraparound bridge and three-a-side Kluson tuners. TV Yellow and Vintage Sunburst VOS.
