Gibson Les Paul Junior, Ebony

If you’re looking for a pure rock and roll machine, the Gibson USA Les Paul Junior is a contender that you should strongly consider!

With its distinctive yet timeless singlecut body shape, a punchy P90 bridge pickup and the renowned Gibson construction, this instrument is as stylish as it is potent-sounding. The Les Paul Junior is the perfect blend of beauty and simplicity.

Construction

Featuring Gibson’s staple tonewood combinations, the Les Paul Junior is comprised of a Mahogany body and a Mahogany neck. With the rich-sounding Mahogany serving as a fantastic tonal foundation for the powerful P90, this material delivers a strong mid-range and a focused low-end.

Adorned with a silky smooth Rosewood fingerboard, you can effortlessly glide up and down the neck, especially with the modern Slim Taper neck profile.

Electronics and Hardware

The Gibson USA 2019 Les Paul Junior features a single P90 in the bridge, but it’s more versatile than you might think. Although punk players will adore its potent sound, this Gibson-designed P90 is actually incredibly dynamic, reacting very well to the volume and tone controls.

This means that you can tame some of the pickup’s output for a thinner and less aggressive sound, and also reduce some top-end for a creamy lead tone, or a smoother-sounding clean.

With a Compensated Wraparound bridge, this reliable design feels solid and smooth under the right hand when palm-muting, with no jagged saddles digging into your picking hand.

Gibson has ensured that this guitar projects an old-school vibe, which is why they have fitted the Les Paul Junior with a set of their Vintage Deluxe tuners. Featuring understated white buttons, these tuners have a stable feel with a steady rotation, meaning that you can precisely tune each string.
