Description
Though initially introduced as a student model in 1954, Gibson's Les Paul Junior has been embraced by countless musicians worldwide for its rich, rockin' tone and exceptional playability. With its snarling P-90 pickup and nice, chunky '50s Vintage neck, this guitar is perfect for players seeking a rockin' axe with a classic sound and feel.
The Les Paul Junior features a mahogany body that produces a rich, resonant tone with deep lows and punchy mids. Its nitrocellulose lacquer finish allows the wood to breathe, enhancing its sound, and gives it an authentic look that'll only improve with age. Players will also love its '50s Vintage mahogany neck that fills the hand nicely and its silky-smooth rosewood fingerboard that feels wonderfully smooth.
Powering this guitar is a single P-90 pickup in the bridge position that pumps out a special kind of sizzle. This pickup has a high output and a biting treble, giving it plenty of edge for lead lines and solos. If you're looking for more aggression, just run the Les Paul Junior through a high-gain tube amp and your favorite fuzz effect, and it'll growl, bark, and wail like nothing you've heard before. Dial the volume back, though, and you'll find that it projects a surprisingly sweet and articulate tone. Simply put, this P-90 sounds great no matter what you do with it.
Complete with a compensated wraparound bridge and a hardshell case, the Gibson Les Paul Junior is perfect for musicians seeking a top-notch guitar with a stellar vintage sound.
