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...
