The Les Paul™ Junior Double Cut is presented as a study in purposeful simplicity, offering exactly what a player needs to rock without unnecessary frills. Despite its straightforward design, its versatility is often underestimated. Although originally conceived as a student model, its single-pickup solidbody layout offers an impressively wide tonal range. Through subtle adjustments to the volume and tone controls, along with changes in picking-hand position, the instrument delivers an array of sounds that defy its minimalist configuration. This flexibility has made it a favorite among professional musicians across genres and generations. Its double-cutaway body also provides unobstructed access to the entire fretboard, including the highest registers, making it an appealing choice for lead players.

This model features a slab-style, double-cutaway mahogany body paired with a mahogany neck carved to a fast and comfortable SlimTaper™ profile. The neck is topped with a rosewood fretboard carrying 22 medium jumbo frets and understated acrylic dot inlays. A wraparound bridge anchors directly to the body for exceptional sustain, while a Graph Tech® nut and Vintage Deluxe tuners with white buttons contribute to stable, reliable tuning performance. The single Dogear P-90 bridge pickup is celebrated for its dynamic character, capable of producing tones that range from sweet and articulate to gritty and aggressive with just a turn of the master volume knob. A single tone control equipped with an Orange Drop® capacitor adds even more sonic shaping capability.

The Les Paul Junior Double Cut embodies the perfect blend of simplicity and surprising tonal depth. It invites players to experience the immediacy, responsiveness, and musical charm that have made it a staple in rock history. A Gibson hardshell case is included to protect the instrument during storage and travel, whether it’s heading to a first local performance or accompanying its owner on a global tour.
