Sold! - 1959 Gibson Les Paul Junior TV Model

*Available upon request*

Introduced in 1954 The Les Paul Jr. was a student model version of Gibsons now famous solid body Les Paul Goldtop. The Junior offered a budget version of the Goldtop and the newly released ornate Les Paul Custom. The Junior utilized a very basic slab body design with one P-90 pickup, a simple wrap around stop tailpiece, Kluson strip tuners, dot fingerboard inlays and a standard sunburst finish. Due to the growing popularity of television Gibson developed an alternate finish option for the Les Paul Jr, a pale yellow that would show up as bright white on a TV screen, hence the finish we see here was dubbed TV Yellow. This vintage Gibson is all original, and plays superbly. Check out the killer crazed lacquer on the body!
