Description

This Les Paul Junior is a peculiar case with a storied history bringing it to its current iteration. Within its first few decades it was refinished in Candy Apple Red and suffered a serious headstock break. In 1984 it was sent to Gibson to go under the knife. The Gibson repair team completely re-necked it, installed new tuner buttons, and reinstalled a veneer with new silk screen. It was also refinished in "Lime Oak Mahogany" - known to most as TV Yellow. Paperwork documenting all of this factory work is included. Somewhere along the way, the volume pot and tone cap were replaced as well. When it arrived at CVG, our in-house repair team reset and straightened out the bridge posts.

The resulting instrument is a unique Junior with plenty of vintage character and some stories to tell!

Includes Lifton hard shell case.
