Item Description

Gibson Les Paul Special Junior electric Guitar Condition: Fair - some chips and wear on body and neck The Gibson Les Paul Junior has earned its reputation as the guitar that "ruins" players for anything else - once you've experienced its sonic purity, there's simply no going back. Originally launched in the 1950s as a budget-friendly student model, this deceptively simple set-neck electric quickly caught the attention of professional guitarists who recognised its minimalist brilliance. This particular model showcases Heavy Aging treatment from the renowned Murphy Lab, where skilled artisans simulate decades of heavy play wear through meticulous craftsmanship. The heavily aged hardware and finish treatment give the instrument the authentic character, vibe, and feel of an original Golden Era Gibson, celebrating the brand's legacy through uncompromising accuracy and attention to detail. At the heart of this guitar lies Gibson's legendary P90 single coil pickup, first introduced in the early 1950s and instrumental in defining the sound of blues and rock and roll. Known by nicknames like "Soapbar" and "Cobalt," the P90 combines high output with brilliant tone, cutting through any musical style while maintaining remarkable tonal sensitivity. Fully wax potted to prevent microphonic feedback and featuring vintage braided two-conductor wiring, this pickup remains a favourite among top musicians for its raw, powerful sound that works equally well for blues, rock, and mellow jazz.
