Epiphone Les Paul Junior Double Cut - Ebony

Les Paul Junior Double Cut - Ebony | Epiphone | Musicmaker Dublin

One pickup. Two cutaways. Absolutely no messing about. The Epiphone Les Paul Junior Double Cut in Ebony is a stripped-back rock 'n' roll machine that proves a great electric guitar doesn't need a forest of switches and knobs to make a serious impression.

Inspired by the gloriously uncomplicated Gibson Juniors of the late 1950s, this double-cutaway beauty brings vintage attitude to a guitar that's ready for modern stages, rehearsal rooms and the occasional dangerously loud afternoon at home. The Ebony finish gives it a wonderfully no-nonsense look, while the symmetrical double-cutaway body serves up that unmistakable Junior silhouette.

The real magic is in the simplicity. A single P-90 pickup sits in the bridge position, delivering the punchy midrange, raw bite and touch-sensitive response that have made these guitars favourites with generations of rock, punk and blues players. Hit the strings hard and it'll snarl. Ease off your picking hand and there's a surprising amount of warmth and detail waiting underneath.

That's the beauty of a good Junior. With just volume and tone controls, you start paying attention to the things that really shape your sound: your fingers, your pick attack and the way you interact with your amplifier. Roll back the volume for a cleaner rhythm tone, then wind it up when the chorus needs a bit more fire.

The double-cutaway design isn't just there for the looks, either. It gives your fretting hand excellent access to the upper register, making bends, solos and adventurous chord voicings feel natural. The familiar Les Paul scale length keeps the playing feel comfortable, particularly for expressive lead work.

And while the Junior's heritage is firmly rooted in vintage rock, its musical range is much broader than you might expect. It can handle gritty garage rock, crunchy indie rhythms, old-school punk, bluesy leads and surprisingly sweet clean passages. It's a guitar with a strong personality, but one that responds beautifully to the player holding it.

The Epiphone Les Paul Junior Double Cut - Ebony is for guitarists who appreciate directness. Plug in, turn up and play something that matters. Sometimes the simplest recipe is still the tastiest.
