Gibson / Les Paul Junior / 1960 / Cherry Red / Guitar
|
This is a Superb Gibson original 1960 vintage Les Paul Junior double cutaway in beautiful vibrant un-faded cherry red which has all the important original bits, including frets and the electrics but does have some changed parts however it has no breaks or repairs!
So why is it so cheap? Well hardware wise the bridge and posts have been changed to a pretty good repro one, the back plate is missing and it had different tuners on at one stage, originals or at least period correct ones are back on it now. When the original tuners went back on the headstock was refinished to cover the holes made by the previous tuners this resulted in the serial number ink stamp to be lost so the chap who did the refin stamped that original number back on the back. ‘Les Paul Junior’ silkscreen has either been rubbed off the front of the headstock or it never had one.
The good news is THERE ARE NO BREAKS OR REPAIRS ANYWHERE the refin on the headstock is not hiding anything nasty!
Serial number is 0 9201 and all pots, wiring and pickups are original. As far as I can tell, everything else is all there and original including strong P-90 pickup, tuners pick guard etc. It does have a few small dings and dongs here and there but nothing really too serious at all, in fact it is a great vintage guitar to look at and to play with all the important bits there.
Original frets with hardly any wear at all and no wear whatsoever on the lovely, original rosewood fingerboard. It has a superb, fast action and is a killer player for a bargain price...
A great bargain for the player - where else can you get an original 1960 Les Paul for under 3 grand…? it plays well, good intonation and a killer vintage P-90. Weight is just 3.2Kg and it has a nice, classic, wide and slim ‘60 profile neck.
