This 1955 Gibson Les Paul Junior has been through some trials and tribulations but it's ready to go now.  To start with it's a great sounding guitar; very resonant and the original 8.1K P-90 pickup sounds absolutely killer.  It's a good weight at 7.4 pounds and it feels balanced on a guitar strap.  The neck is full, with little in the way of obtrusive shoulders, and it feels great to play.  We've listed all the issues with the guitar in the "Specs" section.  Basically, with==  the repairs and work it's had add up to it being a great value for a player.  This thing's totally ready to rock.  The guitar comes with it's original chipboard "Alligator" case.
