Amazing...Simply.

Gibson Custom Shop is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sound excellence. Each instrument celebrates Gibson's legacy through accuracy, authenticity, and attention to detail.

We think that nothing looks cooler than a beat-up Les Paul™ Junior. If you are inclined to agree—and frankly, who isn’t?—then here’s your chance to add one to your collection without having to worry about a refret or any of the other complications that can occur with heavily played vintage instruments. It looks old and cool and growls like a junkyard dog, but everything here is brand-new and ready to rock for decades to come.

With a 50s Rounded Medium C neck carve, Murphy Lab Heavy Aging with lots of checking, prominent forearm wear on the top, some buckle rash on the back, a little thumb-wear, and the kind of under-neck wear you’d typically only get from years and years of playing, this Junior feels like your best friend, right out of the case. Vintage-style features include a nylon nut and a Murphy Lab Aged nickel wraparound bridge, while the deceptively simple wiring harness includes CTS® 500k audio taper potentiometers and a paper-in-oil tone capacitor alongside a single Dogear P-90. A Lifton™ Historic "Gator Skin" hardshell case is also included.
