The Story

1957 Les Paul Junior Sunburst

This is a 1957 Les Paul Junior with a Sunburst finish. This one is well-worn cosmetically and has a few changed parts, but plays wonderfully and is a lightweight and resonant guitar. The tuners are changed to Grovers with the original screw holes visible. The knobs are swapped to modern looking top hats, the top strap pin is new, the jack plate is changed to a metal plate, and lastly the 5th and 9th fret dot inlays are replaced. Those dots are slightly whiter and brighter in appearance than the others. This one has the original frets which are quite low but still playable, and a modern SKB case is included.

Includes: Modern SKB Hardshell Case
