A Gibson Classic, Born to Get Straight to the Point
Introduced in the late 1950s, the Les Paul Junior embodies Gibson?s "simple and effective" philosophy. The
Double Cut version embraces this credo with stripped-down yet noble craftsmanship, a "Vintage Cherry" finish that reveals the mahogany grain, and an ergonomics that appeals to both modern guitarists and vintage instrument enthusiasts.
Who Is It For, and What Styles?
Ideal for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a direct and expressive guitar. Its edgy character shines in
rock,
blues, garage, indie, or
punk. Its simplicity (one volume, one tone) encourages instinctive playing, whether you?re a tight rhythm player, power trio member, or a lead guitarist who likes to work the volume knob.
The Sound
The
Dogear P-90 bridge pickup delivers a single coil with a dense grain, sharp attack, and present mids. Clean, it remains woody and articulate; pushed, it offers a granular and incisive saturation, perfect for cutting through the mix. The solid mahogany adds warmth and sustain, while the
wraparound bridge (anchored directly into the body) maximizes resonance. The
Volume/Tone circuit, hand-wired with an Orange Drop capacitor, preserves dynamics and responds superbly to right-hand nuances and tone control adjustments, allowing you to shift from biting crunch to singing lead in one move.
