History

Introduced in 1954 as an entry-level version of the Les Paul, the Les Paul Junior graduated from kids’ bedrooms to club and arena stages through the course of three decades as it became a favorite not only with beginners, but with professional players, too. In 1958 this bare-bones electric was updated with a double-cutaway body for improved upper-fret access, and this incarnation of the Junior became a particular favorite with punk and garage rockers forever after. The Gibson Les Paul Junior Double Cutaway pays homage to this austere classic.

Lightning Bar Bridge

The Les Paul Junior Double Cutaway carries Gibson’s lightning bar version of the famous wraparound bridge, which functions as a bridge and tailpiece simultaneously. This revision of the original wraparound bridge has raised ridges (hence, “lightning”) to hold intonation better. The Lightning Bar’s fantastic intonation and integration into the guitar body have made it a great find for guitarists, and its inclusion here makes the Gibson Les Paul Junior Double Cutaway a must-have.
