1956 Gibson Les Paul Junior – Sunburst
We present an original 1956 Gibson Les Paul Junior in its original Sunburst finish. Made in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Condition
Overall, this historic Les Paul Junior is in very good+ condition with nicks, dings, and other cosmetic wear. Considering its age, it is actually in quite clean condition, though it has some marks and scratches. The original Sunburst finish is lovely and hasn’t faded much over the years. It features a one-piece mahogany body and one-piece mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard and dot inlays. All the plastic parts are intact, and so are the knobs. The original frets and nut are in good shape. It plays fantastically, and the wraparound tailpiece intonates well.
Originality
This fantastic ’56 Les Paul Junior is all original except for new tuner buttons. It still features the original tuners — only the white plastic buttons have been replaced. Otherwise, it’s just as it left the Kalamazoo factory in 1956. It features the original dog-ear P-90 pickup, which sounds absolutely world-class.
The pickup and the electronics/wiring remain untouched and intact, with no broken solder joints and no rewound pickup. All original and correct.
Comes with the original chipboard case. Although it is in rough condition, we strongly recommend using a different case.
