1958 Gibson Les Paul Junior – Sunburst
We present an all original 1958 Gibson Les Paul Junior in its original Sunburst finish. Made in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Overall, this Gibson Les Paul Junior is in very clean condition with only a few nicks, dings, and other cosmetic playwear. The original Sunburst finish is vibrant, still retaining that red layer, which beautifully contrasts with the natural finish on the back, enhanced by attractive 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 vintage guitar features a nice, big neck profile that is a joy to play. The strong P-90 “dog ear” single-coil pickup sounds fantastic. Black single-layer pickguard, aluminum lightweight wrap-over tailpiece. Two of the original Kluson tuners are slightly bent, but still fully functional and turn smoothly.
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 1958.
The pickup and the electronics/wiring remain untouched and intact, with no broken solder joints and no re-wound pickup. All original and correct.
Comes with its original alligator chipboard case. Latches and handle are in perfect working order.
