Originally billed as a student model with simplified ornamentation and hardware, the Les Paul Junior has since become a sought-after mainstay for professional players and collectors alike. This particular example from 1957 is an exceptional testament to Gibson's craftsmanship from that era, "student model" stigmas aside. Already being lightweight and comfortable in the hands, the only modifications to this instrument - new tuners and frets - are exactly what's needed to secure it as a genuine professional player. The rest of the instrument remains in beautifully original and respectfully played-in condition. Many players find that there's a certain magic in the sound of a solid piece of mahogany with a single dog ear P90 ringing out - we can attest to that sentiment with a guitar like this one. Beauty in simplicity.
Includes original soft case and soft Mono bag.
