AI description - 

Up for sale is a super clean 1997 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Junior in the iconic TV Yellow finish. This is the highly sought-after single-cutaway reissue of the 1950s Junior, built during the golden era of Gibson’s Custom Shop.

Key Specs & Details:

• Year: 1997 (confirmed by serial number)
• Model: Les Paul Junior (Custom Shop historic '97 reissue)
• Serial Number: 7 8964 (stamped on the back of the headstock — this format indicates a 1957-style reissue built in 1997)
• Finish: TV Yellow (buttery, vintage-correct yellow that has aged beautifully)
• Body: Solid mahogany — lightweight and resonant
• Neck: Mahogany with a comfortable slim ’50s-style profile
• Fingerboard: Rosewood with pearl dot inlays
• Pickups: Original P-90 — raw, gritty, and full of character
• Hardware: Nickel tuners, wraparound bridge, black plastic parts

This guitar plays and sounds outstanding. The single P-90 delivers that classic snarling Junior tone — bright and snappy cleans, glorious overdriven bite, and fantastic woody resonance. It has the perfect balance of attack and sustain that players love.

These late-’90s Custom Shop Juniors are increasingly collectible and hard to find in this condition — they’re widely regarded as some of the best reissues Gibson ever made.

Comes with a Gibson USA case.
