Introduced in 1958, the redesigned double cutaway Les Paul Junior was a monumental addition to an already lineup of now-famous models. The Les Paul Junior is an accurate and faithful replica in every possible way. A favorite of hard rock musicians, the extra fret access of the double-cut construction allows upper octave leads while the simple is better single-pickup setup projects only thick, heavy tone. Gibson Custom Shop has proudly revived the original recipe from 1958 for this Historic Reissue, from the solid mahogany and hide glue construction to the vintage-style wiring.
