This early 1955 Gibson Les Paul Junior (1954 specs) is a one-of-a-kind guitar! Starting out as a single cut Sunburst example, this guitar was sent back to Gibson (Kalamazoo, MI) in 1977 where it was factory refinished in Cherry and also got a re-fret and new nut at the same time.All of the documentation from Gibson including a copy of the check used to pay for the labor is included (FYI - not much is mentioned on the invoice). The guitar doesn’t have any repairs or cracks, however Gibson didn’t re-stamp the serial number on the back of the headstock after the full refin.This Junior has a very comfortable Rounded Medium C neck profile and a Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard with barely any wear. The electronics and hardware are original, except for the reproduction single-line Kluson Deluxe tuners and truss rod cover. The guitar weighs 7.62 pounds or 3.46 kg.At the time of the refin, the owner also purchased a case which is the one that comes with the guitar (2 broken latches out of 5).

The Gibson Les Paul is a solid body electric guitar that was first sold by the Gibson Guitar Corporation in 1952. With its distinctive tone and solid construction, it has become an iconic model in the music world.
