The Gibson Les Paul Junior was a solid body electric guitar introduced in 1954 as an affordable, entry-level Les Paul. It was first released with a single cut body style; models with a double cut body style were later introduced in 1958. The Gibson Les Paul Junior was first introduced by the legendary Kalamazoo factory in 1954 and was intended as an affordable way for beginners to get the look, sound, and feel of a real Les Paul. However, the Les Paul Junior quickly became a legend of its own. Throughout the years and in all its many incarnations, the Les Paul Junior has been an on-stage favorite for artists like Leslie West of Mountain, Keith Richards and John Lennon. The Epiphone Les Paul Junior was first introduce in 1997 with the same idea that it would be an affordable, entry-level guitar in the Epiphone Les Paul range. It was first introduced with P-90 pickups and a bolt-on neck. Later incarnations of the Junior would see a '57 re-issue model with a set neck and other various versions throught its history under the Epiphone name, including several humbucker versions, player packs, and a double cutaway model. |
