From the Gibson website:

The Gibson Les Paul Junior came about as a less expensive alternative to the Gibson Les Paul and was marketed toward students. It is strange to think that when the Les Paul Junior was released in 1954 it cost a mere $99. The lightweight body and fast neck make the guitar ideal for punk rock where the focus is on playing fast and dirty power chords. Guitarists like Johnny Thunders of the New York Dolls and Mick Jones of The Clash are some of the more famous musicians to favor the Les Paul Junior. However, it is not only punk rockers that have taken a liking to the Les Paul Junior over the years. Leslie West of Mountain also used the LP Junior as his main guitar. West said his first encounter with the LP Junior was when his old Mountain bandmate Felix Pappalardi gave him a guitar he was having repaired. “I saw it only had one pickup and some knobs, very bare. It reminded me of a tree with a microphone. It stuck.” Billie Joe sort of echoed this sentiment when he talked to Gibson.com in 2006 about the pickups on his signature Les Paul Junior model “You just get to hear what the guitar sounds like.”
