Pickup and away

Despite its junior title, this Les Paul classic is far from inferior. Equipped with the dangerous P-90 DogEar pickup, it provides you with a liberating tone that roars out of your amp. Rich and full bodied - this a pickup that will tear through those choruses whilst having the ability to remain well balanced. As soon as you play your first chord, you'll be transported back to the golden age of rock 'n' roll. The decade where it all began...

It's the vintage tones packed inside that makes the Jr so special. Simply add a little bit of distortion combined with high volume and you'll have that definitive crunch sound. Assembled closer to the bridge, it's what produces the aggressive voice of the guitar - excellently suiting Mick Jones' thrashy punk style. So, whether you're playing in a cafe or the Casbah, make no doubt - you'll be heard with absolute definition.

Exceptional tonewoods

Tones this good fly out of your guitar. The expertly engineered mahogany body is the engine of this guitar. Along with the pickups, it's what gives the Les Paul Junior that powerful, intense sound. You'll have an authentically rich tonal quality that's archetypal of Gibson - craftsmanship at the highest level.

From blues to classic rock, the Junior's range allows it to adapt to any genre. With a sonic depth and soaring highs, your riffs are truly going to take off. Every nuanced note bend will be heard with clarity. Make the most of this guitar's dynamism - it's phenomenal.

Comfort epitomised

Perform effortlessly. Those fast paced riffs can be difficult at times - no one wants cramp ruining their performance. Thanks to some Gibson ingenuity, they've crafted a rosewood fingerboard to allow your fingers to glide up and down the neck. Free of any straining, alleviating any aches and pains.

We all know how good it feels to solo. The single cutaway body allows you to reach higher up the fretboard - so you can perform with complete ease and get to those irresistible notes. Built for you to express yourself - you'll have the freedom to play your heart out.

Junior legacy

For over 60 years the impact this instrument has had in the music world is truly remarkable. Revered for it its highly recognisable attacking tone and its simplicity. It has since been used by iconoclasts - artists who refuse to follow the crowd. From punk icon Billie Joe Armstrong to Bob Marley, the Junior is jam-packed with that classic Les Paul sound but with an added edge. It was even used by the great John Lennon upon his departure from The Beatles. This is an instrument used by the very best. Make a statement.

Guard your instrument

Keep your pride and joy safe. Transporting your guitar from venue to venue can be a stressful period and can sometimes lead to damaged gear. Gibson have provided you with a super durable hard shell case. Protected from all the elements, you can relax and ensure your axe is in the pristine condition you left it in.
