Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Junior Double Cut TV Yellow Murphy Lab Heavy Aging Weight: 8lb 1oz
1958 was a monumental year for Gibson in which a whole mint lineup of now-famous models was introduced. One of them was the redesigned “double cutaway” Les Paul™ Junior, which has since found its place in music history as a favorite of hard rock musicians, especially when they have a broken-in feel like this one. The extra fret access of the double-cut construction allows upper octave leads, while the “simple is better” single-pickup setup projects a thick, heavy tone. This is the first double-cutaway TV Yellow Junior from the Murphy Lab, and we’re offering it at the Heavy Aged level, so it fills a hole in the current Murphy Lab lineup. The 50s Rounded Medium C neck feels fantastic. it’s all about that extra roll from the Murphy Lab treatment that gives them the feel of a vintage original. Other highlights include a nylon nut, 1-ply Tortoiseshell celluloid pickguard, black Top Hat knobs, a black Dogear P-90 wired to master Volume and master Tone controls using CTS® 500k audio taper potentiometers and Paper-in-Oil capacitors.
