Gibson Les Paul Junior Double Cut Electric Guitar, Vintage Cherry

When it comes to simplifying but still getting inspired, there's not many better models to turn to than the Gibson Les Paul Junior Double Cut. Today's USA-born Les Paul Junior Double Cut revisits the lineage of one of Gibson's most coveted single-pickup showstoppers as a model not usually found in Gibson USA production lines.

Throwing it back a couple decades, the Les Paul Junior debuted intended as a student-grade model with a single pickup and the Les Paul's iconic single-cutaway form. As time marched on, eventually the Junior's single-cutaway body turned to double and was adopted by all kinds of rockers, punks, punk rockers, and really any sort of player who could stand to get of the taste of the raw P-90 power it produced. Today's Gibson USA Les Paul Junior Double Cut plays with that same blissful simplicity and fiery spirit for the ravenous Gibson fans of today.

This USA Les Paul Junior Double Cut kicks off with a slab double-cutaway mahogany body wrapped in a sleek gloss finish. Made for resonance and speed, this body plays responsively along with its SlimTaper mahogany neck. Highly mobile with a thinner thickness and a rosewood fingerboard lined with twenty-two Medium Jumbo frets and simple acrylic dot inlays, this neck is a dream.

At this point, this American-made Gibson brings on its sonic engine: A lone GIbson Dogear P-90 pickup. Hearkening to the blissfully simple single-pickup Gibsons of their day, this Dogear produces captivatingly expressive sounds that are quickly 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 solid intonation and easy stringing alongside an included hardshell case.

As one of Gibson's most celebrated and coveted Les Paul offshoots, this Les Paul Junior Double Cut grabs hold and takes you for a ride.
