Gibson Custom Shop ’57 Les Paul Junior 2020 BRUGT

The Les Paul Junior was introduced in the mid-1950s as Gibson’s stripped-down student model, but its simple recipe became much more than that, making it a perennial favourite for players such as Leslie West, Mick Jones, Billie Joe Armstrong and Keith Richards.

This 2020 Gibson Custom Shop ’57 Les Paul Junior Single Cut is a Historic-style recreation of the late-1950s single-cut Junior. The Custom Shop version follows the original format closely, with a solid mahogany body, chunky set mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, single dog-ear P-90, wraparound bridge and simple volume/tone control layout. The sunburst finish, black pickguard, vintage-style tuners and gold headstock silkscreen all follow the classic 1957 specification.

This example has minor dings on the front and back along with standard playwear, but no major issues stated. The frets are like new, and it is very light for a Les Paul Junior at only 3200g. Includes case, COA and all paperwork.
