Up for sale, a 1993 Gibson Les Paul Junior in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and full suite of hangtags. 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.

This particular Les Paul Junior was ordered by Gibson’s Japanese distributor Yamano; Gibson’s USA-made guitars distributed via Yamano are often considered to be among their best, featuring the highest quality woods picked for Gibson’s discerning Japanese audience. With mahogany construction and a fast-feeling C-shaped neck profile carve, this Junior delivers the goods, offering plenty of midrange bark, dynamic treble detail and bass register chug via the clear bobbin P-90 pickup. This Les Paul Junior weighs 8lbs 14oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
