Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Junior Single Cut Reissue VOS, Vintage Sunburst #75723

Full Description

Pure vintage tone with a single P-90

The Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Junior Single Cut Reissue VOS delivers an unfiltered, raw tone straight from the golden age of rock ‘n’ roll. Its single Custom Dogear P-90 pickup captures every nuance of your playing, offering a perfect balance of grit, warmth, and dynamic response. With its punchy mids, smooth highs, and tight lows, this pickup excels at everything from bluesy cleans to all-out rock aggression. Roll back the volume for a mellow tone or crank it up for an overdriven roar—this Les Paul Junior proves that sometimes, less is more.

Authentic 1957 craftsmanship

Built to the same meticulous standards as the original, this Les Paul Junior is a true time capsule of 1957 craftsmanship. The solid mahogany body and neck are joined using traditional hide glue construction, ensuring maximum resonance and sustain. Every detail, from the long-tenon neck joint to the vintage-style wiring, has been carefully recreated for an authentic playing experience. The hand-rolled edges on the Indian rosewood fingerboard create an incredibly smooth feel, while the 50s Rounded Medium C neck profile offers a comfortable grip that feels substantial without being overwhelming.

Vintage nitro finish for a timeless look

True to its historic roots, the Les Paul Junior features a nitrocellulose lacquer VOS (Vintage Original Spec) finish that ages beautifully over time. This thin, breathable finish not only enhances the guitar’s natural resonance but also gives it a rich, vintage aesthetic straight out of the ‘50s. The Vintage Sunburst provides a classic old-school aesthetic, while letting the wood grain subtly shine through for added depth and character. The lightly aged patina enhances the vintage appeal, making this guitar feel like a well-loved classic from the moment you pick it up.

Rock-solid hardware and playability

Designed for pure simplicity and reliability, the Les Paul Junior is equipped with high-quality hardware that delivers outstanding performance. The wraparound bridge offers incredible sustain and resonance, ensuring that every note rings out with clarity. Kluson 3-on-a-side tuners with white buttons provide excellent tuning stability while maintaining a vintage-correct appearance. The single volume and tone controls use premium CTS 500K potentiometers and a paper-in-oil capacitor, giving you smooth, precise tonal control. Play it clean or push it into overdrive—this guitar is built to perform night after night with the durability and playability that made the original an icon.
