Description
This 1956 Gibson Les Paul Junior is a prime example of why these single-pickup rock machines have remained so beloved. With its mahogany body and set mahogany neck, this Junior resonates beautifully, delivering the raw, dynamic tone that defines the model. The original dog-ear P-90 pickup provides punchy mids, clear highs, and a growling low end that excels in everything from warm cleans to aggressive overdrive. The simple yet effective wraparound bridge ensures excellent sustain and a lively response. The classic ’50s neck profile offers a comfortable, substantial feel, making it a joy to play. This example has undergone several thoughtful modifications and updates that have restored its reliability for years to come. Check out the specs tab to see the full modification history. Comes with a modern Gibson hardshell case.
