Product Description

The Real Deal: Raw, Resonant, and Ready to Rock

Meet the Gibson Les Paul Junior Double Cut. This isn’t just a guitar; it’s a straight-up rock and roll machine. Stripped down to the essentials, it’s built for players who know that tone is in the hands. With a single, snarling P-90 and a resonant all-mahogany body, this guitar delivers a sonic punch that’s impossible to ignore. The double-cutaway design isn’t just for looks—it gives you wide-open access to the upper frets, making this a lead player’s dream. Forget the frills; this is all about pure, unadulterated tone.

The Heart of the Beast: One P-90 to Rule Them All

The magic starts with the single Dogear P-90 pickup. This is the sound that powered countless punk, blues, and rock anthems. It’s got the bite and midrange growl of a humbucker, but with the clarity and sparkle of a single-coil. Crank your amp and it screams with rich, harmonic overdrive. Roll back the volume, and it cleans up beautifully, offering a glassy, touch-sensitive response that’s incredibly expressive. The hand-wired controls, featuring an Orange Drop capacitor, ensure that every nuance of your playing comes through with vintage-correct fidelity.

Effortless Playability, Classic Feel

From the moment you pick it up, the SlimTaper neck profile feels like an old friend. It’s fast, comfortable, and encourages you to play for hours without fatigue. The classic combination of a mahogany body and neck, paired with a rosewood fingerboard, delivers that warm, balanced resonance Gibson is famous for. The wraparound bridge provides incredible sustain and a rock-solid feel, ensuring your tuning stays put no matter how hard you play. Finished in a timeless Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer, this guitar will age beautifully right along with your music.

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

It’s all about purity of tone. With just one pickup, there’s less magnetic pull on the strings, allowing the mahogany body to resonate more freely. The P-90 itself is legendary for its fat, gritty single-coil sound that can go from clean and sparkly to a full-throated roar. It’s an incredibly dynamic and responsive setup.
The double-cut design provides unrestricted access to the highest frets, which is a huge advantage for soloing. Tonally, it slightly changes the body’s mass and the neck joint, contributing to the guitar’s snappy response and resonant, open character. It’s a design built for performance.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
