Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Junior Reissue VOS – Vintage Sunburst
A rock icon in its purest form, the Gibson Les Paul Junior 1957 Reissue embodies the raw, minimalist essence that has shaped generations of guitarists. Originally designed as a more accessible "student" model, it quickly became a formidable stage weapon, praised for its explosive tone and uncompromising character.
A revisited classic
This faithful Custom Shop reissue follows vintage specifications, featuring a solid mahogany body, a mahogany neck with a 50s Rounded Medium C profile, and an Indian rosewood fretboard. The nitrocellulose VOS (Vintage Patina) finish adds the charm of naturally aged original instruments.
Authentic vintage tone
Equipped with a single Custom Dogear P-90 pickup hand-wired for a biting, powerful, and direct sound—perfect for rock, blues, or punk. CTS 500K pots and paper-in-oil capacitors ensure dynamic response and maximum expressiveness.
Vintage finish and details
Every detail is carefully reproduced: Long Tenon neck joint with hide glue, authentic 50s truss rod without tube, vintage Kluson tuners, and nickel hardware. A guitar that blends 50s spirit with modern reliability.
