Details
The Junior was Gibson’s most affordable Les Paul, but even with a single pickup, you could spend a lifetime exploring the subtle variations in tone this guitar is capable of. This example was crafted in 1959 and it’s come down to us in fine structural condition. Thanks to a recent top-notch refret and the near-legendary '59 neck profile, this LP Junior is the kind of vintage guitar you can't put down. The stuff that matters is original, such as the P-90 pickup, pots, and wiring. The cherry red finish is in fine shape without a lot of fading.
The tailpiece has been replaced (the original is long gone) and the original black jackplate has been replaced with cream colored one. The tuners are not original but they are Klusons of the same vintage and style that would have originally come on this guitar. It appears that at some point the original gears were replaced with Grover Rotomatics and if you look carefully, you can see a couple fo screw holes. We hope you can come in and try this Gibson because "played an original '59 Les Paul the other day" is always a line to break the ice at parties! Includes a recent vintage hardshell case.
