The Story

1955 Les Paul Junior Sunburst

From across the room, you might think this is a brand new Les Paul Junior - but it's indeed a guitar built in 1955! This sunburst slab-bodied Junior retains its original electronics, with a set of exact-match replaced tuners and a replaced dot inlay at the 17th fret - the guitar remains original. Minus some scratches on the back of the body and lacquer checking across the top - this Junior is stupid clean and still has lots of gloss to the finish. There's a slight bit of tongue rise on the bass side of the neck and a little bit of post lean but still sets up nicely! It's loud and resonant acoustically - plugged in it just screams! There is an alligator case in excellent condition, with the original hang tag and a period-correct cable included.

Includes: Alligator Case, Original Hang Tag, Period-Correct Cable
