This is what happens when the ultimate student guitar gets hot-rodded for space travel
One of the joys of the Gibson Mod™ Collection is that the team can address such burning guitar-design questions as, “What would happen if we made a Les Paul™ Junior with a Flying V™ tailpiece?” The answer lies right here in the High Five Collection, celebrating five years of wild and wondrous Gibson Mod Collection guitars. Alongside its heavily pimped relatives in this quintet of one-offs—the others being a Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s, an Epiphone USA Coronet, a Gibson Custom Explorer™ Custom, and a Firebird™ Platypus 10-String—this fabulous Les Paul Junior Double Cut comes finished in an exclusive new color-shifting heavy flake sparkle accented with plenty of gold.
Most guitarists are familiar with the lore—the Les Paul Junior was introduced in the 1950s as a more affordable, stripped-down instrument designed for students, then as the decades rolled by, a host of players got hip to its minimalistic yet toneful charms, from classic-rock titans to punks and indie kids. Using the chassis of our popular Les Paul Junior Double Cut as a basis, the Mod Collection team replaced the standard Wraparound bridge arrangement with a black ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ and Flying V tailpiece with through-body stringing, all tastefully accented with gold screws, gold thumbwheels and bridge posts, and brass saddles.
The pickguard and truss rod cover? Well, they are also gold, and at the headstock you’ll find a V design that not only echoes the tailpiece but is also a subtle nod to the Roman numeral for five and thus the High Five Collection. The Grover® tuners are also black to match the bridge and tailpiece, and the guitar comes in a hardshell case to keep it safe on the road.
Is this the coolest High Five Collection guitar of all? It’s a tough call, and entirely subjective, but there’s no denying that this is the most eye-catching Junior to come out of our Nashville craftory in some time—and the feel and dynamic response of a Junior with a Flying V tailpiece introduces a flavor to your collection that simply doesn’t exist anywhere else. Breathtaking, inspiring stuff.
All Gibson instruments go through rigorous QC, but every once in a while, a guitar with outstanding playability and tone doesn’t quite meet the strict cosmetic standards at our craftories. As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability, these instruments are sent to the Mod Collection team to use as a blank canvas—and let their imaginations run riot. With a fresh batch of Gibson Mod Collection guitars dropping every week, act fast to get your hands on these one-of-a-kind guitars with unique hardware and electronics customizations, and the wildest finishes in Music City.
