The Les Paul™ Junior was first introduced in 1954 during Gibson’s Golden Era as an affordable, high-quality solidbody electric guitar, ideal for students and beginners. Unlike the more ornate Les Paul Standard models of the era, the Junior was stripped down to the essentials—no carved maple top, extra pickups, or decorative bindings—leaving a simple slab mahogany body with a single pickup. This streamlined design made it more accessible to beginners while retaining exceptional tone and playability. Despite its “student model” origins, the Les Paul Junior quickly gained popularity among players of all levels, including professional musicians.
Notable Junior players include Leslie West (Mountain), Martin Barre (Jethro Tull), Charlie Starr (Blackberry Smoke), Glenn Frey (Eagles), Johnny Thunders, John Lennon, Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day), and Steve Howe. Its charm lies in its simplicity: a single pickup, volume control, and tone control offer a surprisingly wide range of tones depending on picking position and knob settings. Now, Epiphone proudly introduces the updated Les Paul Junior, designed for today’s players—students or professionals alike—while honoring the spirit of vintage Juniors. Features include a single-cutaway slab mahogany body, mahogany neck with a 50s Vintage profile, and a rosewood fretboard with pearloid dot inlays.
The headstock is equipped with Epiphone Deluxe tuners with ivory buttons and a Graph Tech® nut for stable tuning. The strings are anchored with a compensated Lightning Bar wraparound bridge, bolted directly into the mahogany body for exceptional sustain and knockout tone. The Epiphone Les Paul Junior comes with a premium gig bag, making it ready to play anywhere, anytime. Get yours today at Sadek Music and experience a classic guitar loved by generations of musicians.
