Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Junior Double Cut Reissue VOS, TV Yellow #85120

Full Description

Vintage-correct craftsmanship

The Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Junior Double Cut Reissue is built using the same tried-and-true methods that defined the golden era of Gibson guitars. Featuring a one-piece solid mahogany body and a set mahogany neck, this guitar is constructed with hide glue for maximum tonal transfer and vintage authenticity. Every contour, carve, and detail has been carefully matched to the 1958 original, from the neck joint to the pickup cavity routes. Finished in a VOS (Vintage Original Spec) TV Yellow, the lacquer is lightly aged to replicate the natural patina and checking found on true vintage models. It’s not just a tribute—it’s a living, breathing reissue that brings the soul of 1958 right to your hands.

Iconic double cutaway design

One of the standout features of the 1958 Les Paul Junior Double Cut is its symmetrical double cutaway body, which was a significant evolution from the earlier single-cut models. This design offers unrivalled access to the upper frets, making it ideal for expressive lead work and high-register bends. The slab mahogany body adds weight and authority to the tone, delivering that unmistakable midrange punch and singing sustain that Juniors are known for. Paired with its minimalistic setup, this guitar champions the "less is more" philosophy—everything is there for a reason, and every detail serves tone, feel, and function. It’s an instrument built to stay out of your way and let your playing shine.

Signature P90 punch

At the heart of the Les Paul Junior Double Cut Reissue lies a single Custom Dog-Ear P90 pickup, a faithful recreation of Gibson’s legendary single-coil design. Known for its raw, unfiltered sound, the P90 bridges the gap between the brightness of a Fender-style pickup and the depth of a humbucker. It responds dynamically to your playing style and amp settings, making it incredibly versatile across a range of tones—from sharp and articulate to thick and gritty. The pickup is wired through premium CTS 500K audio taper pots and vintage-spec paper-in-oil capacitors, delivering smooth tonal roll-off and rich character. This setup delivers punch, clarity, and attitude in equal measure.

Period-accurate neck and hardware

The chunky C-shape neck on this reissue is true to its 1958 roots, offering a full grip and a satisfying vintage playing feel. It’s carved from a solid piece of mahogany and topped with an Indian rosewood fingerboard fitted with 22 medium-jumbo frets and pearloid dot inlays. The 24.75" scale length ensures familiar Gibson tension and playability, while the nylon nut adds a smooth tonal edge. Hardware is kept authentically simple with a wraparound bridge for strong sustain and intonation, gold top hat knobs, and nickel-plated components that will age gracefully over time. Every element has been chosen to preserve the vintage integrity of this historic model.
