Description
This 1961 Gibson Les Paul Junior double-cutaway is a masterclass in bold, minimalist design paired with outstanding playability. The early '60s neck profile offers a comfortable feel, perfect for both rhythm work and lead lines, while the lightweight mahogany body in its rich cherry red finish showcases the iconic double-cutaway design for effortless upper-fret access.
Remarkably well-preserved for its age, this Junior shows only light playwear. It has been refretted, fitted with a new nut, and upgraded with a Music City bridge for improved intonation, though the original bridge is included in the case. A single P-90 pickup delivers the raw, punchy tone that defined late '50s rock and blues—a sound that’s as timeless as it is versatile.
Complete with its original chipboard case, this Les Paul Junior is ready for its next chapter in the hands of a player who appreciates its classic vibe and uncompromising tone.
