The Gibson Les Paul Junior Double Cut

The Les Paul Junior has always occupied a unique position in Gibson's lineup — a guitar that began as an affordable student model and quietly became one of the most beloved electric guitars ever made. The Les Paul Junior Double Cut takes that legacy a step further, adding a second cutaway for unrestricted access to every fret on the board while keeping everything else exactly as it should be: one pickup, one volume, one tone, and a whole lot of attitude. In Ebony, the result is a guitar that looks as serious as it sounds.

Two cuts, no compromises

The double cutaway body isn't just a cosmetic choice — it opens up the upper register in a way that single-cut Juniors simply can't. Whether you're playing fluid lead lines at the 19th fret or digging into a chord voicing high on the neck, there's nothing in your way. The body itself is solid mahogany, giving the guitar a natural warmth and resonance that punches well above its weight. The wraparound bridge bolts directly into the body, which means exceptional sustain and a resonance transfer that feels immediate and alive under your hands.

The P-90 — a pickup that does it all

At the heart of the Les Paul Junior Double Cut is a single Dogear P-90 in the bridge position, and it's everything you need. P-90s occupy a perfect middle ground between single-coil clarity and humbucker weight — articulate and present on clean settings, growling and full when you push the amp. With nothing but a master volume and a hand-wired master tone (featuring an Orange Drop capacitor), the tonal range available here is wider than it has any right to be. Roll back the volume for glassy cleans; crank it for one of the most satisfying overdriven sounds in rock history.

Built to play, made to last

The mahogany neck with Gibson's Slim Taper profile is fast and comfortable for players of all styles, topped with a rosewood fingerboard bearing 22 medium jumbo frets and simple acrylic dot inlays. GraphTech nut and Vintage Deluxe tuners with white buttons handle tuning stability with a classic aesthetic that suits the guitar's no-nonsense personality perfectly. Nickel hardware throughout ties it all together, and the Ebony finish gives this Junior a dark, refined look that sets it apart. A Gibson hardshell case is included to protect it wherever the gig takes you.

Why We Love This

Our Gear experts appreciate the Les Paul Junior Double Cut because it gets out of its own way. There's no excess hardware to think about, no extra pickup switches to fiddle with mid-song — just a great-sounding P-90 and two controls that respond beautifully to your playing. The double cutaway makes it a genuinely practical lead guitar, and the Ebony finish gives it a stage presence that's hard to ignore.
