Modifications/RepairsAdded strap pin on bass side cutaway, replaced output jack plate
With its double cutaways, this Les Paul Junior combines classic style and functionality, serving as a predecessor to the sharper SG and standing strong alongside Fender’s Stratocaster. The rounded horns provide excellent fret access, balancing style with playability. Its single P90 pickup in the bridge position is pure rock and roll—full-bodied and dynamic.

This particular Junior has developed a rich patina over the years, adding to its vintage character. It’s seen only minimal updates: a replaced output jack plate and an added strap pin on the bass-side cutaway. With low action, it plays smoothly across the neck, delivering that iconic rock tone heard on so many legendary tracks. Comes with a non-original hardshell case.
*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
