Follow on the footsteps of Keith Richards (Rolling Stones), Mick Jones (The Clash) and Johnny Thunders (New York Dolls) and find out why those players opted for a Les Paul Junior Double Cutaway - simplicity itself and great tone. Pure Rock'N'Roll.

The Les Paul Junior, introduced in 1954, was the economy Les Paul model. With its no-nonsense look, a single P-90 pickup, it was an instant hit. In 1958, Gibson changed the Junior's body shape to a double cutaway.

In the late 70's, punk guitarists re-discovered the Les Paul Junior, and it became a firm favorite amongst players such as Mick Jones (The Clash) and Johnny Thunders (The New York Dolls).

And here we are, 50 years later, and the simplicity of the Les paul Junior still inspires new generations...

Like all VOS (Vintage Original Spec) Series instruments, the 1958 Les Paul Junior VOS is handcrafted for comfort and playability in the Gibson Custom Shop. The construction, neck profile, hardware, and electronics are period accurate, and a special nitrocellulose finish treatment gives it the patina of a gently aged vintage guitar. Includes Gibson Custom Shop case, a certificate of authenticity, and custom care kit.

Les Paul Junior DC 1958 Custom Shop

— Mike June 11, 2008

I used to own an original 1959 cherry red LP Junior DC in late 70\\\'s and always wished I\\\'d kept it, I bought the custom shop TV version because it just looked so good and took me back to 1978. How does it compare? I play mostly blues music from 1950\\\'s to present day and \\\'classic\\\' rock from the 1960\\\'s and 70\\\'s. The sound is fantastic and absolutely perfect for me either directly into a fender valve amp or through a Boss ME5 board. The guitar has an edgy bright but \\\'woody\\\' tone that just fattens and distorts as the volume is turned up, very 1960\\\'s, or think Free. It gives a great rock sound. I use 11 guage string set and have no problem with bends etc. The neck is chunky compared to modern guitars but after 5 minutes it just feels perfect. For chicago blues the junior is superb sounding like all the greats while retaining personality and a distinctive edgy sound. I find the single pick to be reasonably versatile and the junior has been my first choice gigging and playing guitar for 2 years, relegating my 25 year old strat to a box under the bed. It is expensive when compared to other instruments but the simplicity and sound are the attraction. Try one but make sure to turn the volume up and you will become a convert. For me its a \\\'keeper\\\'.

Dolphin Music brings you the best music gear at the best price. We are committed to superior customer service and have extensive product knowledge. However, in today’s market we may not always be aware of all the price fluctuations of the products we sell. So, we offer competitive price matching.

What prices we will match?

We will compare prices for new, direct from manufacturer items, excluding any add-ons, options, or other special features which may affect price.

The item must be new and must be the exact same make and model (ie, the same size, version, etc.).

Since our postage charges are lower than most of the shops, the comparison price must be a "delivered cost" to the consumer.

The price you have found must be the Internet Retailer's regular, advertised price for a current and available item. The price you found cannot be a closeout, discontinued, blemished, year-end, inventory reduction, or any other type of advertised sale price.

Price Matching requests may not be combined with any other promotional discounts, specials or other price incentives.

Prices and price sources you have found which do not meet the above criteria or in which incomplete or inaccurate information is provided to us, will not be approved for our Price Match.
