Product Description

Raw Gibson Attitude In A Sleek Ebony Package

If you are chasing that no nonsense Gibson punch in a guitar that looks as mean as it sounds, this Les Paul Junior in Ebony is right in the pocket. It strips away the fluff so every note, every bend and every riff feels direct, honest and alive under your fingers.

Real talk, a good Junior is all about vibe and connection. No distractions, no feature overload, just a straight line between your hands, your amp and the crowd.

Classic Les Paul Junior Simplicity

The Les Paul Junior has always been the working player’s Gibson. It is the model you grab when you want to plug in, turn up and let the song do the talking. This one sticks to that formula with a classic Junior layout that keeps everything focused on feel and dynamics.

With fewer bells and whistles in the way, you feel every nuance of your picking hand. Roll back the volume for cleaner, glassy textures, lean into it and it barks with grit and authority.

Ebony Finish, Stage Ready Look

The Ebony finish gives this Junior that blacked out, stealth stage look that never goes out of style. Under lights it goes from subtle to fierce, and it frames the lines of the body in a way that just screams rock and roll.

If you want a Gibson that looks as serious as you are about your playing, this is it. The all black aesthetic fits everything from clubs and rehearsals to festival stages and studio sessions.

Built For Players, Not Collectors

This is the kind of guitar that begs to be played hard, not babied. It is made for players who care more about how a guitar reacts under their hands than how much fancy trim it has. Chords feel solid and authoritative, single note lines jump out of the amp with clarity and punch.

It shines in bands where the guitar needs to cut and stay clear in the mix without getting in the way of vocals or keys. If you live on edge of breakup tones and use your hands to shape the sound, this kind of Junior really delivers.

Dialed In At Moore Guitars

This specific Gibson Les Paul Junior Ebony is in our Evansville, Indiana shop right now, fully inspected and dialed in by our player techs. We go over every instrument so it feels inspiring right out of the case, not after a trip to your local repair bench.

The Lowdown

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.

If you want a guitar you can drag to rehearsals, clubs and sessions without babying it, a Les Paul Junior is a killer choice. The straightforward design keeps things reliable and consistent from night to night, and the Ebony finish always looks sharp on stage. It is the kind of guitar you can build a whole set around without overthinking anything.
This really shines for players who like to work the volume knob, ride their picking dynamics and live in that gritty, expressive zone between clean and dirty. If you play rock, punk, blues, Americana or indie and want a guitar that rewards feel over flash, this fits like a glove. If you need lots of switching options and ultra modern features, you might want to look at other models too.
Absolutely. The Les Paul Junior is a great entry point into the Gibson world because it keeps things simple and musical. You are not fighting a complicated control layout, so you can focus on timing, touch and phrasing. If you are unsure whether this is the right fit for your current skill level and budget, call us and we will walk you through some options with zero pressure.
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.
