Genuine 1959 Gibson Les Paul Junior, double-cutaway configuration — the first full production year of this body shape and one of the most desirable iterations of the Junior line. Serial #92381 is ink-stamped on the rear headstock, consistent with Gibson’s 1952–1960 serialization, confirming early 1959 production. Every component is original to the guitar — body, neck, electronics, hardware, and finish. A genuinely rare survivor at this age.
