Up for sale, a 1993 Gibson Les Paul Junior in 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. Crafted during an increasingly celebrated era of Gibson production colloquially known as the “good wood” era, this Les Paul largely adheres to ‘50s spec, with a couple additional player friendly features including mini Grover Rotomatic tuners and an ABR-1 bridge/stopbar pairing, ensuring optimal intonation and tuning stability.
The mahogany body and neck offer plenty of midrange growl and sweet sustain, qualities faithfully captured by the P-90. Plugged in, the pickup is articulate and dynamic, tailored for glassy treble cut and thick overdriven bark. This Les Paul Junior weighs 8lbs 6oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Heritage Cherry nitro lacquer finish shows some some pick scuffing on top, light buckle rash central to the back, and small dings on the body, mostly limited to the lower bout. The gloss has been stripped from the neck profile, resulting in a smooth, open-grain satin feel.
