1959 Gibson Les Paul Jr. Electric Guitar – Cherry (7 lb 10 oz)

Description Serial Number: 925405Weight: 7 lb 10 oz   This 1959 Gibson Les Paul Junior Double Cutaway is a clean vintage example featuring the model’s classic single-pickup, wraparound design. The guitar retains its original cherry finish with typical aging for its era. Overall condition is very good, with moderate fret wear consistent with regular use. There are no headstock or heel repairs. Light checking is seen throughout the guitar and the headstock has minimal rash on the edges. The G tuning machine has a bent paddle.   The electronics include original potentiometers and bumblebee capacitor. This guitar has the original wraparound tail piece and is pretty in tune without a newer compensated replacement. The instrument has a solid mahogany body and set mahogany neck, paired with a rosewood fingerboard and 22 frets. Scale length measures 24.75″. This configuration reflects the standard specifications of late-1950s Les Paul Junior models.   A single dog-ear P-90 pickup provides the characteristic output associated with the Junior lineup. Structural integrity is strong, and the guitar presents as a well-preserved example suitable for collectors and players who prioritize originality in key components.   Features Original cherry finish on solid mahogany body Set mahogany C-profile neck with rosewood fingerboard (22 frets) .919″ neck thickness at 1st fret 1-11/16″ nut width Approximately 24.75″ scale length No headstock or heel repairs Moderate fret wear appropriate for age Single dog-ear P-90 pickup Original potentiometers, bumblebee capacitor, and original wraparound tailpiece Non-original input jack, but original plate and screws This guitar includes an era-correct chipboard case.
