GIBSON 1957 Les Paul Junior Single Cut Reissue VOS Vintage Sunburst

The Les Paul Junior series is based on the models of the same name from the 1950s, designed from the beginning for players for whom standard Les Pauls were too expensive (students, beginners, etc.). However, in the case of the current 1957 Les Paul Junior Single Cut Reissue VOS from the Gibson Custom Shop, let's leave out any talk of affordability. This historically authentic "reissue" model is priced on the opposite side of the spectrum.

The body of the instrument is made from a single piece of mahogany. A special VOS (Vintage Original Specs) finish gives the guitar the authentic look and feel of the originals. Glued to the mahogany neck is a rosewood fingerboard fitted with twenty-two Authentic Medium Jumbo frets. Positioning dots made of imitation mother-of-pearl make it easy to navigate the fingerboard surface.

The P-90 pickup in a "dog-ear" design gives the guitar a truly awesome rock crunch for which the instrument is popular with classic rock and blues players alike. Volume potentiometer and tone controls are used to adjust the sound. Stable tuning is guaranteed by the string attachment in the stringboard (wraparound). The period authenticity is underlined by all the materials/components used and their workmanship.

The guitar comes in a case with a certificate of authenticity.
