The
Gibson Les Paul Junior was originally released in the early 1950s as a $99
beginner’s level guitar built with the premium quality expected from all Les Paul guitars. The Les
Paul Junior was, and still is a major hit among up-and-coming guitarists because of its simplistic,
yet high quality design. But its basic features have also appealed to accomplished guitarists
looking for the classic, unique Les Paul sound with a distinctly raw edge. With the Les Paul
Junior, it’s a proven fact that less is more when you just want to rock, plain and simple.
The Les Paul Junior has less amenities than the Les Paul Standard, but is guaranteed to be as
playable, unique, and well crafted as the most expensive Les Paul models. The Junior offers just as
much freedom to experiment as any other Les Paul.
