Gibson Les Paul Junior, TV Yellow

Full Description

Vintage-inspired tone with modern edge

At the heart of the Gibson Les Paul Junior is its legendary Dogear P-90 pickup - a powerhouse of a pickup that has defined the sound of countless rock, blues, and punk records since the '50s. This pickup is known for its raw, mid-forward voice that delivers clarity and bite without sacrificing warmth. It’s dynamic and expressive, responding to every nuance of your playing, from soft strumming to full-throttle riffing. Paired with hand-wired electronics and Orange Drop capacitors, you can achieve a smooth roll-off on the volume and tone controls without losing definition. You get sparkling cleans, gritty crunch, and aggressive lead tones - all with one knob and one pickup.

Solid mahogany build for classic resonance

The Les Paul Junior’s body is carved from a solid slab of mahogany, prized for its warmth, resonance, and sustain. This simple, unbound body not only keeps the weight down for comfort during long sessions or gigs, but it also contributes heavily to the guitar’s signature tonal character. The natural punch and fullness of mahogany pairs perfectly with the bite of the P-90, creating a full-spectrum sound with strong mids and smooth lows. This is a guitar that feels full of life in your hands, with every note ringing out clearly and confidently. The no-frills approach of the Junior’s design is deliberate - stripping back the excess to let the wood and electronics shine. You get the core of the classic Les Paul in a compact and comfortable package.

Comfortable 50s neck with vintage feel

One of the standout features of the Gibson Les Paul Junior is its 50s Vintage neck profile. This chunky, rounded profile fills the hand in a way that inspires confident fretting and feels natural for both chord work and lead playing. Made from a single piece of mahogany, the neck has a reassuring heft that enhances sustain and stability while also delivering that classic Gibson feel. Topped with a rosewood fingerboard and a 12-inch radius, it offers a smooth playing surface ideal for bends, fast runs, and everything in between. It’s a neck that encourages expressive playing, letting your hands move freely. Combined with the 24.75" scale length, it offers just the right balance of tension, making everything you play feel smooth and seamless.

Reliable hardware with vintage charm

The Les Paul Junior may be minimalist, but it still deliver immense levels of reliability and performance. The wraparound bridge provides excellent string transfer to the body, enhancing resonance and sustain while keeping intonation rock solid. The tuners are Vintage Deluxe models with white buttons, adding a touch of old-school style while keeping your tuning stable and precise. Nickel hardware rounds out the vintage aesthetic, complementing the TV Yellow finish with a timeless look. Every part of the Junior is chosen for functionality and feel, creating a guitar that can be rocked out with on stage, in the studio, or on the sofa.
