Gibson Les Paul Junior, Ebony(LPJR00EBNH1)

Gibson Les Paul Junior, Ebony

Originally introduced in 1954 as a more affordable option for students and beginners, the Les Paul™ Junior has earned a strong reputation among seasoned professionals for its raw, unfiltered tone. Its single-cutaway, slab mahogany body delivers punchy midrange and impressive sustain, while a single dogear P-90 pickup produces a biting, articulate sound that responds dynamically to your playing style. With simplified master volume and tone controls, the concept is pure and direct—plug in, set your tone, and unleash classic rock, blues, or punk riffs without distraction.

At the core of the Les Paul Junior’s design is a mahogany neck with a chunky 50s Vintage profile, offering a substantial yet comfortable feel suited for everything from powerful chord work to detailed lead playing. The 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with a 12” radius allows for smooth string bends and effortless fretting across the neck. A Wraparound bridge anchors the strings, delivering stable intonation and strong sustain despite its minimalist appearance. Paired with the P-90 pickup, this setup covers everything from warm, clean tones to gritty overdrive simply by adjusting the volume knob.

Staying true to its roots, the Les Paul Junior’s minimalist design proves that less really can be more. Its lightweight construction ensures a comfortable playing experience whether practicing at home or performing high-energy sets on stage. Though originally aimed at beginners, the modern Les Paul Junior continues to captivate professionals seeking unmistakable grit, clarity, and character.
