Gibson Custom Shop

In the mid-50s, competition to develop and market solid body electric guitars that were both affordable and professionally built was heating up. Just a few years earlier, Gibson had introduced the incredible Les Paul model with a $249.50 price tag (including case), yet increased competition was triggering the exploration into new directions that would eventually yield a wide variety of new and innovative Gibson products at various price points. Among those new products was the Les Paul Junior single cutaway model a stripped-down, affordable alternative to the more expensive Les Paul standard. It was given an off-white finish known as TV Yellow (TV cameras of the day would black-out if exposed to anything white) or Vintage sunburst . This Custom Shop recreation brings the 1957 Les Paul Junior to life.
