Gibson Les Paul Junior Double Cut Electric Guitar, TV Yellow

Always showing the upside of slimming things down, we have the Gibson Les Paul Junior Double Cut. Today's American-made Les Paul Junior Double Cut revisits the legacy of one of Gibson's most beloved single-pickup stars as a model truly seldom seen in Gibson USA production lines.

Way back when, the Les Paul Junior was introduced as a student-grade model with a single pickup and the Les Paul's iconic single-cutaway form. As time went on, eventually the Junior's double-cutaway version came along to be eventually adopted by all kinds of punks, rockers, punk rockers, and really, anyone who couldn't resist the simplicity and raw P-90 power it provided. Today's Gibson USA Les Paul Junior plays with all that same fiery spirit and blissful simplicity for the players of today.

The Les Paul Junior Double Cut begins with a slab, double-cutaway mahogany body decked in a sleek gloss finish. Made for speed and resonance, this body plays responsively in accordance to its SlimTaper mahogany neck. Fast and fluid with a rosewood fingerboard bearing twenty-two Medium Jumbo frets and simple acrylic dot inlays, this neck is a dream to play.

From here, this American-made Gibson welcomes its sonic engine: A lone Gibson Dogear P-90 pickup. Throwing it back to original single-pickup Gibsons of their day, this Dogear summons massively expressive sounds that are seamlessly sculpted through responsive volume and tone controls with a hand-wired Orange Drop capacitor. These iconic Gibson tones are matched with a wraparound bridge and Graph Tech nut for sturdy intonation and easy stringing along with an included hardshell case.

As a bona fide Gibson classic back to ride another day, this Les Paul Junior Double Cut takes the driver's seat, ready or not.
