“Returns to the classic design that made it relevant, played, and loved”: Gibson has brought back the Les Paul Junior and Special Double Cut – reviving the adored student models that became rock ’n’ roll staples

Gibson Les Paul Junior and Special Double Cuts.

Gibson is thrusting two old favorites back into the spotlight with the return of the Les Paul Junior Double Cut and Les Paul Special Double Cut electric guitars.

Offering “stripped-down simplicity” and “surprising versatility” in tandem, the LP evolutions were first released in the 1950s. The Junior, with its single P-90 pickup, was a game-changer, and became favorites of Leslie West, Mick Ralphs and more on the way to becoming a rock 'n' roll staple.
