Raw Junior attitude with Custom Shop finesse
If you love the idea of a single pickup Les Paul that just roars, this Custom Shop 57 Les Paul Junior VOS hits that sweet spot. Slab mahogany, one angry P 90 and true historic details give you all the vibe of a great 50s Junior without chasing vintage prices or repairs.
Resonant slab mahogany and aniline dye finish
The solid mahogany body is all about punch, sustain and midrange growl. At just 6.8 pounds it feels lively in your hands, with notes that jump off the fretboard and bloom through the amp instead of getting choked by excess weight.
The TH aniline dye finish sinks into the wood instead of sitting on top of it, so the guitar feels open and alive. Rounded edges and gundrill weight relief keep it comfortable against your body while still feeling like a serious, no nonsense rock machine.
Big 50s neck that fills your hand
The mahogany neck has a chunky 50s style carve that measures roughly .9 to 1.0 inches front to back. It fills your palm in a way that makes you play with more authority, yet the taper feels natural up the neck so long sets do not fight you.
A nylon nut and short neck tenon keep things classic, with rock solid tuning and sustain that hangs on for days. If you like to dig in and feel the neck fighting back a little, this profile will feel like home.
One dogear P 90 that covers a lot of ground
The single dogear P 90 is the whole story here and it absolutely delivers. Wide open it has that snarling grind and upper mid bite that lets you slice through any mix, but roll it back and it turns into a surprisingly sweet, glassy clean with tons of character.
LP Jr 50s style wiring keeps the response touch sensitive and dynamic. It rewards your picking hand, cleans up beautifully with the guitar controls and loves to push a good tube amp right into that chewy edge of breakup.
VOS treatment and true historic details
This is a Vintage Original Spec build, so it is all about feel and authenticity rather than over the top relic work. The VOS treatment and TH aniline dye give it a gently lived in look with a smooth, broken in feel that never gets sticky.
True Historic .036 fretwire, celluloid dot inlays and aged nickel hardware round out the package. It looks, feels and sounds like a well cared for 50s Junior that has actually been played, not a shiny case queen.
