Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Junior Reissue Vintage Sunburst

The Gibson 1957 Les Paul Junior Reissue in Vintage Sunburst brings one of Gibson’s most revered designs back to life with precision and craftsmanship from the Custom Shop. Originally introduced as a student model, the Les Paul Junior quickly gained favor among professional musicians for its stripped-down simplicity and raw tonal power. Featuring a solid mahogany body and neck joined with authentic hide glue construction, this reissue stays true to its 1957 roots. The single P-90 pickup delivers unmatched clarity and bite, perfect for both vintage enthusiasts and modern players seeking pure, unadulterated tone.

With its minimalist design and impeccable attention to detail, this Historic Reissue recreates the essence of the original, from vintage-style wiring to period-correct hardware. The Vintage Sunburst finish adds timeless style, while the classic wraparound tailpiece ensures robust sustain and resonance. A tribute to Gibson’s legacy, the 1957 Les Paul Junior Reissue is built for players who appreciate the purity and performance of a true classic.
