This Player grade Gibson Les Paul Jr. from 1957 has a great vibe and comes with a newer hardshell case. This guitar absolutely nails the classic Leslie West tone plugged straight into Amp. Very dynamic tone across all tone and volume settings. Plays easily and sounds killer.

PLEASE READ BELOW:

Neck: Mahogany neck with a fat “C” profile typical of late 50’s Gibsons, rosewood fingerboard, non original frets in good condition, headstock crack repair, face of the headstock touched up, neck heel repair with a paint touch up.

Body: Mahogany body. Finish: Non-original re-finish shows moderate wear all over the body and the neck, lots of small dents and scratches.

Hardware/electronics: Period correct, possibly Original P90 pickup and tuners, non original bridge and pots.

Unedited Luthier's notes: 1957 Les Paul Junior refin serial 7 6390
