The Les Paul Junior was first sold in the '50s as a student/budget model. Over the years, however, this minimalistic electric guitar caught the ears and eyes of many pro guitarists. With the Murphy Lab 1957 Les Paul Junior Single-Cut Reissue Heavy Aged electric guitar, Gibson Custom Shop has recreated the Les Paul Junior down to the finest detail to ensure the vintage feel and sound is intact, so modern guitarists can experience for themselves what makes this instrument stand out. From the solid mahogany and hide-glue construction to the vintage-style wiring, the classic 1957 Les Paul Junior is back.
