This is what Epiphone say about the Les Paul Junior:
The Epiphone Les Paul Junior combines iconic 1950s Les Paul styling with straightforward controls, powerful P-90 tone and a design that has remained a favourite with guitarists for generations. Originally introduced by Gibson in 1954 as an affordable, high-quality solidbody electric guitar, the Les Paul Junior was designed with simplicity in mind.
Unlike the more elaborate Les Paul models of the era, the Junior featured a stripped-back design with a slab mahogany body, single pickup, and simple volume and tone controls. Its affordable price was aimed at students and beginners, but its impressive tone and playability quickly attracted professional musicians. Over the decades, the Les Paul Junior has become a respected stage and studio instrument across rock, blues and other genres.
Legendary players including Leslie West, Martin Barre, Charlie Starr, Glenn Frey, Johnny Thunders, John Lennon, Billie Joe Armstrong and Steve Howe have all helped demonstrate the versatility and enduring appeal of the Les Paul Junior.
The beauty of the Les Paul Junior lies in its simplicity. Its single pickup and straightforward controls offer a surprisingly broad range of tones. Adjust the master volume and tone controls or experiment with your picking position to explore everything from warm, rounded sounds to aggressive, cutting rock tones.
The latest Epiphone Les Paul Junior captures the spirit of the original while offering modern reliability and playability. Whether you're a beginner looking for your first serious electric guitar or an experienced player seeking a classic single-pickup instrument, the Les Paul Junior delivers plenty of character without unnecessary complications.
The guitar features the traditional single-cutaway slab mahogany body, delivering the punchy response and sustain associated with the Les Paul Junior. A mahogany neck with a comfortable, substantial 50s Vintage profile provides an authentic vintage-inspired playing experience.
The rosewood fretboard features simple pearloid dot inlays, keeping the aesthetics faithful to the understated original design. At the headstock, Epiphone Deluxe tuners with ivory buttons add a vintage-inspired touch, while a Graph Tech nut helps provide reliable tuning stability.
At the heart of the Les Paul Junior is its single P-90 pickup, delivering the raw, powerful and highly responsive tone that has made this guitar a favourite among rock and blues players. The uncomplicated electronics allow the character of the pickup and mahogany body to shine through.
Strings are anchored by a compensated Lightning Bar wraparound bridge, bolted directly into the mahogany body for excellent sustain, reliable intonation and the distinctive punchy response associated with the Les Paul Junior.
The Epiphone Les Paul Junior comes supplied with a premium gig bag, making it easy to protect and transport your guitar to rehearsals, gigs, lessons or the studio.
With its legendary single-cutaway design, mahogany construction, powerful P-90 pickup and straightforward controls, the Epiphone Les Paul Junior proves that sometimes less really is more.
