A Classic, No-nonsense Les Paul!

Since 1954, the Gibson Les Paul Junior solidbody electric guitar has added a cool, straightforward vibe to the world of rock music. Over half a century later, the Les Paul Junior is still a favorite among players everywhere. If you're looking for a streamlined and affordable US-built guitar, the Les Paul Junior is right up your alley. Made from solid mahogany and finished in classic nitrocellulose, the Les Paul Junior gives you an impressively rich and detailed tone. Its SlimTaper neck is a pleasure to play, and you just can't beat the sound of a classic P90 pickup. Order your Gibson Les Paul Junior from Sweetwater, and find out for yourself.

Gibson Les Paul Junior Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Single cutaway mahogany body
  • One P-90 "dog ear" soapbar pickup
  • Comfortable SlimTaper neck profile

Single cutaway mahogany body
The Les Paul Junior was made to capture the sound and feel that's made this Gibson axe a truly classic model. This solidbody guitar features an original-style mahogany "slab" body with the distinctive Les Paul shape. The Lightning Bar combination bridge and tailpiece also gives the Les Paul Junior a wonderfully snappy response that's fun to play - it's the perfect complement to its single P90 pickup.

One P-90 "dog ear" soapbar pickup
You want a raw, rocking experience? You can't of the Les Paul Junior's lone single-coil P-90 "dog ear" pickup. By the way, it's called dog ear because of the mounting flanges which players jokingly referred to as looking like a pair of dog ears. But, how does that single legendary pickup perform? Plug the Les Paul Junior into your favorite amp and prepare to be astounded by the sound. It's no coincidence that leagues of players got their start with this guitar - and came back to it time and time again.

Comfortable SlimTaper neck profile
Unlike the first Les Paul Juniors, which had significantly chunkier necks, this Les Paul Junior gives you the fast and comfortable feel of Gibson's SlimTaper neck profile. Made from absolutely solid mahogany, this '60s-style neck carve is one of the most popular profiles out there. What's more, Gibson gave the Les Paul Junior a sleek Obeche fingerboard, a great-looking sustainable wood!

Gibson Les Paul Junior Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:
  • An excellent solidbody electric guitar for a wide range of musical styles
  • Solid mahogany body with a nitro gloss finish looks amazing and ages well
  • Mahogany neck with Gibson's popular SlimTaper neck profile feels great and plays like a dream
  • Sustainable Obeche fingerboard with classic dot inlays
  • Soapbar-style P-90 "dog ear" pickup gives you vintage look and signature Les Paul Junior growl
  • Vintage-style tuners with 14:1 tuning ratio keep your tuning locked in tight

The Gibson Les Paul Junior is a streamlined solidbody electric guitar with a classic touch!

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer knows all his products. I can call and ask him anything and he's on top of it. Some other places just want to sell you something, but I've found Sweetwater to be a helpful, professional company to work with.
