1957 Gibson Les Paul Junior – Sunburst
We present an all original 1957 Gibson Les Paul Junior in its original Sunburst finish. Made in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Overall, this vintage guitar is in very clean condition with only a few nicks, dings, and other cosmetic playwear. The color of the Sunburst is vibrant, still retaining that red layer which wonderfully contrasts with the natural finish on the back, featuring beautiful finish checking. The original frets are in great shape with plenty of life left in them.
A Gibson single-cut mahogany body with a one-piece mahogany neck is just a great combination. Gorgeous rosewood fretboard with dot inlays. This guitar features a nice, big — but not chunky — neck profile. The P-90 “dog ear” single-coil pickup sounds fantastic. Black single-layer pickguard and aluminum lightweight wrap-over tailpiece. The single-cutaway Junior models from 1957 – 1958 benefit from an improved bridge position compared to earlier models, which suffer from leaning bridges due to placement and shallow bridge studs.
It’s 100% original throughout – Just as it left the Kalamazoo factory back in 1957.
Pickup and electronics/wiring remain untouched and intact, with no broken solder joints and no re-wound pickup. All original and correct.
Comes with its original chipboard case and hang tag. Newer handle on the case.
