The Gibson Les Paul Junior Vintage Tobacco Burst is an iconic instrument that has been inspiring musicians worldwide for over six decades. Originally intended as an entry-level model, the Les Paul Junior has developed into a fully-fledged classic that impresses with its clear, direct tone and minimalist design. This newly revised version remains true to its origins, but combines modern manufacturing techniques with the timeless features of the original Junior models. With its single P-90 pickup, high-quality pots and Orange Drop® capacitors, it delivers an impressively rich and versatile sound.
Like the original from the 1950s, this version of the Les Paul Junior is also equipped with a solid mahogany body. Mahogany is known for its warm tone color and excellent resonance and gives the instrument a rich, full sound with a strong presence in the mid frequencies. The gloss nitrocellulose lacquer not only provides a noble appearance, but also allows the wood to breathe, allowing the sound to mature over time. The natural grain of the mahogany body is stylishly emphasized by the Vintage Tobacco Burst finish.
The neck of the Les Paul Junior is also made of mahogany and features the classic 50s vintage profile. This thicker neck profile offers a comfortable feel and sits comfortably in the hand, making it ideal for guitarists who prefer a solid, traditional playing feel. The scale length is a typical 24.75 inches (628.65 mm), which provides an excellent balance between string tension and playing comfort.
The fingerboard of the Les Paul Junior is made of rosewood, a noble and durable material that is characterized by its warm sound characteristics and pleasant feel. The 22 medium jumbo frets have been brought to the perfect level with Plek technology, making the fingerboard extremely even to play and ensuring maximum precision with every note. The fretboard radius of 12 inches (304.8 mm) also enables effortless bending and fast licks, while the acrylic dot inlays provide a classic look.
The heart of the Gibson Les Paul Junior is the P-90 Dog Ear pickup. This single-coil delivers the unmistakable, aggressive yet versatile tone that has made the Les Paul Junior famous. The P-90 offers a clear and crisp sound that is ideal for rock, blues and punk. Its warm, yet snappy tone perfectly accentuates solos and provides assertive rhythm parts.
In combination with the hand-wired pots and Orange Drop® capacitors, the P-90 delivers enormous tonal flexibility, ranging from smooth clean tones to powerful overdrive sounds. The sound is controlled via a simple volume and tone pot, which allows precise fine-tuning of the sound.
The Les Paul Junior is equipped with a robust wraparound bridge, which not only ensures excellent string pressure, but also optimally transmits the vibrations to the body. This achieves maximum resonance and sustain, which are responsible for the typical Les Paul sound.
The Vintage Deluxe tuners with white buttons offer precise and stable tuning, while at the same time the instrument is kept in classic vintage style. These tuners ensure that the instrument always remains in tune, even with intensive playing techniques.
To protect the instrument, the Gibson Les Paul Junior is supplied with a high-quality hard shell case. This sturdy case reliably protects the guitar during transportation and storage. A Gibson Accessory Kit is also included, which contains useful accessories such as a polishing cloth and tools to keep the guitar in top condition at all times.
The Gibson Les Paul Junior Vintage Tobacco Burst is a timeless classic that impresses with its simplicity and outstanding sound quality. With its solid mahogany body, unmistakable P-90 pickup and first-class hardware, this guitar is a must-have for all guitarists looking for an authentic rock sound. Whether on stage or in the studio - the Les Paul Junior impresses with its versatility, its clear and powerful tone and its excellent playability.
