(SOLD) Gibson Les Paul Junior Vintage Sunburst 2002
Gibson Les Paul Junior, 2002, vintage sunburst. It's simple, but it works very well indeed. Take a generous slab of mahogany, add a wraparound bridge and a single P-90 with basic controls and you're in business. This Junior is blessed with a gorgeous rosewood fretboard atop a friendly mahogany neck; it feels great in the hands. The detailed grain of the mahogany looks lush under the simple vignette of the finish, it's a no-nonsense look with equal parts charm and swagger. The tone is classic Jr: percussive and immediate, shimmering highs, creamy mids. It's perfect for punk or classic rock stuff, but the tone has a certain purity that will slot into a bunch of settings happily. This is heaps of fun, it's all-killer-no-filler.
