1958 Gibson Les Paul Junior

This super light guitar weighs just 6.90 lbs. One and three-quarter inch thick solid mahogany body with the early 'sharper' edges. One-piece mahogany neck with a nut width of just under 1 11/16 inches, a standard Gibson scale length of 24 3/4 inches and a wonderful thick profile. Brazilian rosewood fretboard with 22 medium frets and inlaid pearl dot position markers. Headstock with "Gibson" logo and "Les Paul / Junior" silk-screened in gold. Black plastic bell-shaped truss-rod cover with two screws. Closed-back single-line Kluson Deluxe strip tuners with white plastic oval buttons. Serial number inked-on in black on the back of the headstock. One super black P-90 pickup with an output of 7.81k. Black plastic pickup cover stamped on the underside "UC - 450 - 1 / 1". Single-ply tortoiseshell plastic (0.08 inches thick) pickguard with four screws. Two controls (one volume, one tone) on the lower treble bout. Black plastic bell-shaped "Bell" knobs. The potentiometers are stamped "134 6308" (Centralab, February 1963**). Combination "wrap-over" bar bridge/stud tailpiece with two intonation screws. The guitar has been expertly re-fretted with medium (0.01) gauge fretwire. There is some light belt buckle wear on the back of the body, a few small indentations on the sides, and some fine finish checking. The back of the neck is lightly faded and there is a small area of finish loss behind the second and third frets and some playing wear on the treble-side of the neck by the first five frets. The color is a deep rich cherry red with little sign of fading apart from the back of the neck. This wonderful sixty-four year old 'screamer' is in excellent (8.50) condition. Housed in the original Gibson three-latch, brown 'Alligator' softshell case with brown felt lining (9.00).

**We cannot explain why the potentiometers are dated February 1963 - the solder joins look to be untouched. The guitar was possibly a leftover from 1958 and finally left the factory sometime in 1963 - whatever the story the guitar is 100% original and plays and sounds just like it should… (#2270)
