Description

This 1956 Gibson Les Paul Junior has retained much of its original charm after nearly 70 years, developing a rich character along the way. The two-tone sunburst finish, a classic Gibson feature of the era, has aged beautifully with a stunning patina. While the tuner buttons, knobs, and tone pot have been replaced, the guitar is otherwise all original. Its single P-90 pickup offers a versatile tonal range, from smooth, mellow cleans to aggressive leads, making it suitable for almost any playing style. This guitar is a special piece of Gibson history and comes with a non-original 70s Gibson hardshell case.
