If you’re looking for a pure rock and roll machine, the Gibson USA Les Paul Junior is a contender that you should strongly consider! With its distinctive yet timeless singlecut body shape, a punchy P90 bridge pickup and the renowned Gibson construction, this instrument is as stylish as it is potent-sounding. The Les Paul Junior is the perfect blend of beauty and simplicity. Construction Featuring Gibson’s staple tonewood combinations, the Les Paul Junior is comprised of a Mahogany body and a Mahoganyy neck. With the rich-sounding Mahogany serving as a fantastic tonal foundation for the powerful P90, this material delivers a strong mid-range and a focused low-end. Adorned with a silky smooth Rosewood fingerboard, you can effortlessly glide up and the Vintage 50s neck profile is thick and fills the hand nicely. Electronics & Hardware The Gibson USA 2019 Les Paul Junior features a single P90 in the bridge, but it’s more versatile than you might think. Although punk players will adore its potent sound, this Gibson-designed P90 is actually incredibly dynamic, reacting very well to the volume and tone controls. This means that you can tame some of the pickup’s output for a thinner and less aggressive sound, and also reduce some top-end for a creamy lead tone, or a smoother-sounding clean. With a Compensated Wraparound bridge, this reliable design feels solid and smooth under the right hand when palm-muting, with no jagged saddles digging into your picking hand. Gibson has ensured that this guitar projects an old-school vibe, which is why they have fitted the Les Paul Junior with a set of their Vintage Deluxe tuners. Featuring understated white buttons, these tuners have a stable feel with a steady rotation, meaning that you can precisely tune each string.
