For sale is a Gibson Les Paul Junior, in excellent condition.

The guitar has only been played a few times at home and has never seen extensive use. It remains in excellent overall cosmetic condition.

I have made two practical/cosmetic changes to the guitar: the original wraparound bridge has been replaced with an upgraded bridge, and the original control knobs have been replaced with gold top knobs. Both the original bridge and original knobs are included with the sale, so the guitar can easily be returned to its original specification if preferred.

There are no case candies included.

About the Les Paul Junior

Originally introduced in 1954 as a straightforward and affordable Les Paul model, the Junior has since become a classic in its own right.

Its appeal comes from the simplicity of the design: a solid mahogany body, a single dog-ear P-90, one volume control, one tone control and a wraparound bridge. Combined with the substantial Vintage ’50s neck profile, it offers a direct and responsive playing experience with plenty of midrange character and dynamic range.

The single P-90 can move from surprisingly clean and articulate tones to aggressive classic-rock drive simply through picking dynamics and the guitar’s volume control.

Sound

The Les Paul Junior is deliberately simple, but that simplicity is a large part of its appeal. The mahogany construction, wraparound bridge and single dog-ear P-90 produce a direct, resonant sound with strong mids and excellent response to playing dynamics.

It works particularly well for:

• Classic rock
• Punk
• Alternative rock
• Blues
• Garage rock
• Indie
• Roots and Americana
• Crunchy rhythm guitar
• Raw lead tones

A great example of the classic Les Paul Junior formula, with very little home use and some useful upgrades while retaining the original bridge and knobs for reversibility.
