Orville by Gibson Les Paul Junior Double Cut (LPJ-D) – 1989 – TV Yellow – MIJ – Player Grade

For sale is a 1989 Orville by Gibson Les Paul Junior Double Cut (LPJ-D) in classic TV Yellow, made in Japan during the highly regarded Fujigen era. This is a player-grade example with honest wear, perfect for someone looking for vintage vibe and tone without collector pricing.

Specs:

  • Model: Les Paul Junior Double Cut (LPJ-D)
