A '57 Junior in a Rare TV White Finish
The Gibson Custom Select 1957 Les Paul™ Junior Reissue, Ultra Light Aged, TV White features a rare but recognizable finish with Murphy Lab aging. Gibson Custom Select offers cool and unique features such as custom finishes and modified hardware. These unique creations are made in small batches with handpicked features by the highly skilled artisans at the Gibson Custom Shop. The standout feature on this 1957 Les Paul Junior is the Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged TV White finish, which can only be found from Made to Measure and Gibson Custom Select. Everything else about the instrument is what you would find on a Gibson Custom ’57 Junior including the Dogear P-90 pickup and 1950s Chunky D-Shape neck profile.
Originally intended for students, the Gibson Les Paul Junior has long since transcended beginner status. Since the model’s introduction in 1954, Les Paul Juniors have been seen and heard in the hands of many famous players, from John Lennon to Billie Joe Armstrong. The heart of the guitar’s tone lies in the single Dogear P-90 pickup, which is screwed directly to the mahogany body, and the simple wraparound tailpiece, which delivers unparalleled resonance and sustain. With a single P-90 pickup and 500K audio-taper volume and tone controls with a paper-in-oil tone capacitor, the signal is pure, which directly translates into the raunchy, dynamic, and highly versatile sound for which Les Paul Juniors are acclaimed.
This Gibson Custom Select ’57 Junior features a TV White finish. White finish is applied to the body and neck, and then brown wood filler is applied to emphasize the natural grain of the mahogany, which creates a contrasting appearance. There have been many variations of TV finishes throughout the decades, and TV White is among the rarest of the bunch. Simplicity continues with celluloid dot inlays on the unbound rosewood fingerboard. The 1950s Chunky D-Shape neck profile takes inspiration from the hefty neck profiles of early vintage Juniors, with a depth of 0.9” at the 1st fret and 1.0” at the 12th fret.
This 1957 Les Paul Junior in TV White has all the classic features of the legendary Les Paul Junior, with a fresh appearance. The Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged treatment gives the instrument a vintage appearance, with weather checking throughout as well as hand-rolled fingerboard edges for player comfort. Crafted with the finest materials by the experienced team at Gibson Custom, this ’57 Junior is a simple and highly effective tool. Sometimes less is more, and sometimes one pickup is all you need. Included with the guitar is a reissue Lifton™ brown case with pink interior and a Gibson Custom Certificate of Authenticity.
