Here for sale we have a Gibson Custom Shop '58 Reissue Les Paul Junior DC in TV Yellow finish. The Gibson Les Paul Junior was initially introduced as a high-quality affordable guitar in 1954, with a stripped-back specification with no carved Maple top, no binding, one pickup and singular volume and tone controls. The TV Model came slightly later in '55 to promote The Les Paul & Mary Ford Show, and was largely the same as the Junior, save for the new TV Yellow finish. The double-cutaway model was introduced in '58, proving extremely popular; almost doubling the sales of the instrument. The initial run was discontinued in '63, but the instrument has always remained popular thanks to its simplistic configuration and no-frills approach. This Custom Shop reissue was made in the USA in 2006, and of course features a set-neck construction comprising a Mahogany body, Mahogany neck and 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard. Nickel hardware is fitted including Gibson Deluxe 3-on-a-plate tuning machines and an aftermarket Advanced Plating wraptail piece, as well as a Bone nut. A single dog-ear P-90 pickup is installed, and is wired to master volume & tone controls. The neck plays beautifully, with a very substantial profile which lives up to it's '50s Rounded 'C' name. The neck exudes character, providing a playing experience which is unique amongst the slimmer profiles which have become ubiquitous today. The thickness of the profile means a firm grip can be sustained on chords, riffs and rhythm playing. Lead lines and solos are easily possible, with a very real sense of personality to the instrument which informs the way it is played. It has to be said that fast licks and shredding solos are not especially well facilitated, unless you happen to have particularly large hands. Amplified, the Gibson Dog-Ear P-90 pickup delivers a thick and full bodied tone, which works well in a variety of contexts. The P-90 can be thought of as an overwound single coil, which means that it actually benefits from features of both single-coil and humbucking pickups. Clean sounds are bright and clear, whilst overdrive and distortion tones are grittier and thicker than you would expect of a single-coil. The master volume and tone controls offer ample adjustability of your sound whilst fitting in perfectly with the simplistic ethos of the instrument. This is a seriously cool guitar with a vintage vibe, unique playing experience and distinctive sound.
