About the Gibson Custom Shop
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.
A Faithful Reproduction of a Solidbody Classic
Gibson’s ’58 Les Paul Junior Double Cut Reissue is a fantastic version of a primal instrument that’s been rocking for over half a century. This all-mahogany beauty is a dead-on reproduction of the original, from its single P-90 to its chunky “C” neck profile. It’s a simple guitar that’s a classic for many reasons.
This guitar’s combination bridge and tailpiece, a pioneering move in the ’50s, is now standard on tons of instruments, which goes to show that sometimes simple is better. The Les Paul Junior is a textbook example of a purpose-built instrument, and it does what it does well.
This guitar features a single dog ear P-90 in the bridge position for a raw, rocking playing experience. That single coil tone provides endless possibilities for tone, which makes the Les Paul Junior fit right into any genre. The instrument has a 1-piece mahogany neck with ’50s profile and a smooth rosewood fretboard that makes it insanely playable.
The body of this ’50 Les Paul Junior Double Cut Reissue VOS is made of a premium-quality mahogany slab that retains the distinctive double-cut Les Paul shape. It has Gibson Custom’s “Vintage Original Sheen” finish that’s buffed to a light matte appearance, which gives the look and feel of a guitar that has been lovingly played and cared for over the years.
