DISC Gibson Les Paul Junior Tribute DC, Worn Brown

Full Description

Simple, solid tone

Brilliance in simplicity. The Les Paul Junior was originally designed as a student guitar, to give budding players a straightforward model that was easy to play and hone their skills on. However, the Junior's high-quality construction, durability, and ability to deliver excellent, full tone quickly made it popular amongst professional musicians, too.

Legends such as Bob Marley and John Lennon were impressed by the Junior's single surface-mounted P-90 bridge pickup. Delivering greater output, a louder mid-range, and punchier treble than anything available on the market at the time of its release, it stood out from the crowd. With this tribute model, Gibson have masterfully recreated every aspect that made the Junior so popular in the first place. Raw power.

Scintillating sound

A guitar that gives you total, distinctive power. The Gibson Les Paul Junior was a go-to instrument for a number of punk bands. Perhaps the most famous of its fans in the genre was Mick Jones of The Clash, who used the Junior's stripped-back attack to catapult the band to the status of punk rock royalty. The single P-90 bridge pickup delivers simple yet scintillating edge in every note. No frills power.

Unmatched aggression fit for music legends

Never be restrained in your playing. The Les Paul Junior Tribute is the perfect instrument for allowing you to unleash unparalleled, unbeatable energy into your music. The guitar's compensated wraparound bridge means strings are wrapped towards the nut, making them stronger and more long-lasting. Never again will you suffer the pain of strings snapping when you're playing roaring, aggressive power chords.

The bridge also affords the instrument a throatier, gruffer sound quality. Ideal for any kind of rock music. That's why guitarists as wide-ranging as Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, The Eagles' Glenn Frey, Johnny Thunders of punk icons The New York Dolls, and Beatles legend John Lennon all used a Les Paul Junior.

The perfect touring instrument

You've never had a guitar as suited to gigging and touring as the Les Paul Junior. Supreme, easy to use playability is delivered by a simple control system and slim taper neck. Never be confused on stage by endless control dials. Single volume and tone controls make dialling in your ideal sound simple and easy. The slim neck sits comfortably in the palm of your hand, eliminating cramp and allowing you to play on all night long. Its solid mahogany body is durable and long-lasting, meaning the guitar can take a beating on-stage or in transportation and still perform brilliantly at each and every gig. The ideal tour guitar.
