Les Paul Junior & Special DC - Worn White

The Les Paul Junior and Special are even more spartan versions of Gibsons first iconic solid-boy guitar model. Originally intended to be a more affordable, accessible alternative to Gibsons expertly-crafted, carved maple topped Les Paul guitar, the Junior and Special are excellent examples of Gibsons "simple done well" mantra. Featuring solid mahogany bodies, and either one or two "dog-eared" P-90 pickups, the Les Paul Junior and Special models found their own niche of players looking for light-weight, rugged guitars that are built to last in typical Gibson quality, but don't feel like family heirlooms like a Goldtop Les Paul or ES model might.

The Doublecut was first debuted in 1958 as the Les Paul Junior Doublecut, and was one of the least expensive guitars Gibson offered at the time. Originally intended as Gibsons "student" model, the original Les Paul Junior sold for only $49.50, or roughly $435 in 2019. Our Doublecut Junior and Special models pay homage to the originals with the same classic Gibson quality of manufacturing; with premium tone woods, solid, wraparound bridge, and P-90 single coil pickup(s). Paired with Tortoise shell pickguards and exclusive finishes like Worn TV Yellow and Worn White, an exclusive Les Paul Doublecut Junior or Special makes for the perfect entry-point into the world of Gibson guitars, or another addition to a growing Gibson collection.
