Gibson 1957 Les Paul Junior Single Cut Reissue VOS, Vintage Sunburst
We think that nothing looks cooler than a beat-up Les Paul™ Junior. If you are inclined to agree—and frankly, who isn’t?—then here’s your chance to add one to your collection without having to worry about a refret or any of the other complications that can occur with heavily played vintage instruments. It looks old and cool and growls like a junkyard dog, but everything here is brand-new and ready to rock for decades to come.
With a 50s Rounded Medium C neck carve, Murphy Lab Heavy Aging with lots of checking, prominent forearm wear on the top, some buckle rash on the back, a little thumb-wear, and the kind of under-neck wear you’d typically only get from years and years of playing, this Junior feels like your best friend, right out of the case. Vintage-style features include a nylon nut and a Murphy Lab Aged nickel wraparound bridge, while the deceptively simple wiring harness includes CTS® 500k audio taper potentiometers and a paper-in-oil tone capacitor alongside a single Dogear P-90. A Lifton™ Historic "Gator Skin" hardshell case is also included.
