Gibson / Les Paul Junior DC / 1959 / Original Cherry / Guitar

I just LOVE the feel of a 50s Junior, and man the double cuts just look so cool. Here we have a player’s grade 1959 Gibson Les Paul Junior Double Cutaway in the original cherry finish. This guitar is balanced very well and has a fantastic weight to it. The headstock was broken in the 70s and the original owner did the “quick fix” on it and basically put a screw through the back of the headstock right over the break and a nut on the other side and left it. The crack was never glued or properly repaired. When we got the guitar it still had this fix and surprisingly played and sounded just fine. Since it has had an excellent pro headstock repair. The break and hole is almost undetectable. All original with the exception of the jackplate. Nice and fat neck. Comes with the original alligator style hard case.

Year: 1959.

Model: Les Paul Junior DC

Serial: 923175.

Finish: Original cherry finish. Overspray over break on back and front of the headstock.

Case: Original alligator style case.

Weight: 7 pounds 4 ounces.

Condition: Good. Pro headstock repair, the usual dings, dents, and tasteful finish checking. There is a still a fair amount of cherry in the finish, but the face is a bit more faded than the back.

Modifications: Non original jackplate. Otherwise original.

Comments: Very nice player's grade '59 Junior.
