A Faithful Reproduction of a Solidbody Classic!

Strap on Gibson Custom's 1957 Les Paul Junior Single Cut Reissue VOS solidbody electric guitar, and experience a primal instrument that's been rocking for over half a century. The all-mahogany 1957 Les Paul Junior Single Cut Reissue VOS is a dead-on reproduction of the '50s axe, from its single dog ear P-90 pickup to its robust Chunky "C" neck profile to its simple-yet-sturdy hardware. You'll love the instantly recognizable LP single-cutaway design and vintage vibe. Original LP Juniors are now almost impossible to find, but this 1957 Les Paul Junior Single Cut Reissue VOS puts a classic in your hands!

Single-cutaway mahogany slab body

Gibson Custom built the 1957 Les Paul Junior Single Cut Reissue VOS with one thing in mind: to deliver the feel, sound, and vibe of a genuine '57 LP Junior to your hands. This axe features a premium-quality mahogany slab body that retains the distinctive Les Paul shape. The combination bridge and tailpiece is now standard equipment on many upper-level instruments, proving that sometimes simple is better. It's the perfect example of a purpose-built instrument, and a real blast from the past!

One P-90 dog ear pickup in the bridge position

You want a raw, rocking experience? You won't be able to get enough of the 1957 Les Paul Junior Single Cut Reissue VOS's lone single-coil P-90 dog ear pickup. Plug the 1957 Les Paul Junior Single Cut Reissue VOS 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.

1-piece mahogany neck with '50s profile and rosewood fretboard

If you're looking for classic feel, then wrap your hand around the 1957 Les Paul Junior Single Cut Reissue VOS's '50s rounded neck profile. With that beefy neck and the extra bite produced by the P-90 pickup, you'll be astounded at how you can really dig into big power chords and screaming lead sounds. You'll also love how the unbound rosewood fingerboard and dot position markers give this axe a straightforward look that matches this guitar's sonic character.

Vintage Original Sheen finish, for the look and feel of a classic

Gibson Custom's Vintage Original Sheen finish option comes standard on Custom Shop Historic Reissue models. The VOS finish package includes lightly aged parts that imparts an authentic vintage patina. The nitrocellulose finished it buffed to a light matte appearance, giving a look and feel of a guitar that has been lovingly played and cared for over the years.

What just happened?

I keep telling myself "this isn't possible". I keep having to make myself put it down at 3am so I can get some sleep before work. This guitar has ruined me just as the description suggests. This is my desert island guitar by far! Get your Sales Engineer to order you one NOW.

Junior,Always Knows What I Want To Express

It is hard to express my feeling about this guitar.
I really love it! With its chunky neck profile, Junior gives me confidence and a sense of safety while playing it.
As you have only one pick-up, it seems that you can hardly have different kinds of TONE, however in the opposite, you have the whole world.
Setting my Marshall Amp at a Ready-to-ROCK state, plug into my Junior, then my trip to music BEGIN!
I can get a very clean, crystal sound with my volume knob at 3 or 4, but if I turn the Knob all on, This Junior starts to scream! Just like a Rock N Roll monster!
I can get a very warm sound with my tone knob at 5 or 6, just like the sound of the neck pick-up of a traditional Les Paul, but if I turn the Knob All on, This Junior produces a really aggressive sound!
So that's a MAGIC you know! It seems like a simple guitar, but never sounds like simple!
In China, people seem not to be willing to spend such huge amounts of money on a one-pickup guitar, however, once you understand the magic of
the Junior, you will know what a miracle is!
Junior, always sounds exactly!
