The mid - late 60s saw demand for students and beginners who couldn't quite afford a top end electric guitar. Juniors, Specials and Melody Makers were all simpler versions of the classic Les Paul design. Coming with many different finishes and pickup combinations, P90s were an interesting choice for a traditionally humbuckerd guitar. Providing openness and sparkle that humbuckers could not, these lower end Gibson's soon became as popular as the higher end models.  

This Les Paul junior does away with any idea that the junior is a stripped back model. It's gold hardware and new 'TV Black gold' finish make for a Les Paul Junior that looks like it was built by Maserati. The transparent black mixed with white binding look out of this world. The white button and gold tuners are just the cherry to top off this sexy chocolate cake of a guitar. 

It's light, weighing in at only 7.58 lbs. The mahogany body has a stunning grain that is enhanced by the transparent finish. It has a nice slim 60s neck that plays itself and the usual 12" radius and Medium Jumbo frets provide choke free performance. 

The P90s sound heavenly. They give more grunt and mid range than normal single coils but still have some of that single coil openness and shimmer that you don't quite get with humbuckers. 

As always, it's been set up to play it's best and freshly restrung. Quite possibly the most stunning guitar we've had. Comes with all it's documents and the original Gibson pink lined case.

Thanks for looking!
