In 1958 Gibson gave the Les Paul Junior two cutaways for access to the upper frets, and the double-cut Junior became a hard rock favourite. This reissue follows it: solid mahogany body and neck with a 1950s Chunky D profile and an Indian rosewood board.
A custom dogear P-90 wired to 500K CTS pots and paper-in-oil capacitors, a wraparound bridge and a tortoiseshell celluloid pickguard. Cherry Red and TV Yellow VOS.
