Gibson Les Paul Junior

Species
The neck of the Les Paul Junior Double cut is constructed from a single piece of solid mahogany, and glued to the body at a 3.5-degree angle (pitch). Mahogany is the most traditional wood for Gibson electric guitar necks, and offers an excellent sonic and visual partner to the solid mahogany body.

Headstock Angle
The Les Paul Junior Double cut’s headstock is carefully angled at Gibson’s traditional 17 degrees, which increases pressure on the strings and helps them stay in the nut slots. An increase in string pressure also means there is no loss of string vibration between the nut and the tuners, which equals better sustain.

Radius
The 12-inch radius of the Les Paul Junior Double cut fingerboard provides smooth note bending capabilities and eliminates "dead" or "choked out" notes, common occurrences on fingerboards with lesser radiuses.

Frets
The Les Paul Junior Double cut sports 22 jumbo frets, all immaculately dressed and polished.Model
A single Gibson P-90 pickup equips the Les Paul Junior Double cut in the style of the original Les Paul Junior, giving it the bite, punch and sizzle that have made these guitars favourites with rock, blues, and alternative-style players for more than 50 years.

Bridge
The Les Paul Junior Double cut carries Gibson’s “lightning bar” version of the hallowed wraparound bridge, which serves as bridge and tailpiece in one. This late-’50s update of the original smooth wraparound bridge includes raised, staggered ridges for improved string intonation. This simple, solid bridge has long been a favourite of many tone-conscious guitarists, who value its unparalleled coupling of strings and body. This bridge is made from Zamak then plated with chrome, and each one weighs approximately .24 lb
