(SOLD) Gibson Les Paul Junior Vintage Sunburst 2011
Gibson Les Paul Junior, 2011, vintage sunburst. These are simple, but so satisfying. The combo of a big ol' slab of mahogany, a single P-90 pickup, a wraparound bridge and simple electonics make for a primal, pure tone. There's plenty of warmth and depth on deck, balanced by a snarling, snappy attack that lends a heap of clarity and definition to rhythm parts, even when paired with a generous dose of gain. There's an airiness and immediacy you can't really get from either traditional Les Pauls or Fender style stuff... it's the unique, nasty glory of the Junior. The finish is a lovely thin gloss nitro with plenty of checking lines and marks around the place, it's looking so majestic. This is a particularly lightweight example of the model, so if your shoulders have been hassling you lately, this might be your ticket. Tip trick: these don't sit on the shelf long usually, so I hope you're in a decisive mood!
