A Fine and Original Les Paul Junior.

1955 Gibson Les Paul Junior.

This exceptionally fine and totally original guitar weighs just 7.00 lbs. Solid mahogany body and one-piece mahogany neck with a fat profile and a nut width of 1 11/16 inches. Brazilian rosewood fretboard with 22 original medium-to-thin frets and dot position markers. One screaming P-90 pickup with an output of 7.94k. Combination "wrap-over" bar bridge/stud tailpiece. Original Gibson alligator case with brown felt lining (8.75). Quite simply one of the cleanest LP Juniors we have ever seen. Introduced in 1954, the "budget" Les Paul Junior "was designed for and aimed at beginners. It did not pretend to be anything other than a cheaper guitar. The outline shape of its body was the same as the gold-top and Custom, but the most obvious difference to its Les Paul partners was a flat-top solid mahogany body.
