Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Key Features
The Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Junior is a no-frills rock machine with pure vintage attitude. Designed to capture the essence of the original, it features a solid mahogany body, hide glue construction, and a single Custom Dogear P-90 pickup for raw, unfiltered tone. The 50s Rounded Medium C neck profile offers a comfortable feel, while the Indian rosewood fingerboard adds warmth and clarity to every note.
Finished in TV Yellow and aged by the Murphy Lab, this reissue has the look, feel, and vibe of a well-played classic. Light hardware aging and a worn nitrocellulose lacquer finish give it instant character, making it feel like an old favourite from day one. Stripped back and built for pure expression, this is a Les Paul Junior done right.
Product Ref: 322685
The Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Junior stays true to the original design that made it a legend. Built with period-correct specs, this reissue captures the essence of the late 50s Junior, from its solid mahogany body to its single-cut silhouette. Originally introduced as a student model, the Les Paul Junior quickly found favour with professional guitarists for its no-nonsense construction and powerful tone. This reissue brings back everything that made the original special, including a long tenon neck joint, hide glue construction, and a stunning TV Yellow finish that highlights the grain of the mahogany. It’s a faithful recreation of a true rock 'n' roll classic.
Gibson Custom’s Murphy Lab treatment takes this reissue to the next level, delivering the look and feel of a vintage guitar that has been played and cherished for decades. The Ultra Light Aging process simulates years of natural wear, with subtle lacquer checking and a gently worn-in finish that makes it feel like a genuine 1957 model. Unlike heavy relic treatments, this finish retains the integrity of a well-maintained guitar while adding an unmistakable vintage vibe. The hardware is lightly aged to match, ensuring every detail contributes to its authentic, timeworn character.
The heart of the Les Paul Junior is its single Custom Dogear P-90 pickup, delivering the unmistakable growl and punch that has defined countless records. This pickup packs a raw, articulate sound with plenty of midrange bite, making it perfect for everything from blues to punk and hard rock. With just a single volume and tone control, the Junior encourages you to shape your sound through playing dynamics and technique, bringing out every nuance of your style. The P-90’s wide frequency range ensures clarity and presence in any mix, from warm cleans to snarling overdrive.
Built from a single slab of solid mahogany, this guitar delivers exceptional resonance and sustain. Mahogany has been a staple tonewood for Gibson guitars for generations, prized for its warmth, depth, and midrange-rich character. The long tenon neck joint enhances stability and sustain, allowing every note to ring out with clarity and richness. Unlike chambered or weight-relieved designs, the Les Paul Junior’s solid body ensures a pure, organic response with every chord and lead line. This stripped-down build is a testament to why simplicity often leads to superior tone.
The 50s Rounded Medium C neck profile provides a substantial feel without being overly thick, striking the perfect balance between comfort and vintage accuracy. Crafted from solid mahogany and topped with an Indian rosewood fretboard, this neck delivers a smooth, natural playing experience. The 12-inch radius ensures effortless string bends, while the medium-jumbo frets provide a confident grip for both rhythm and lead playing. Combined with the classic wraparound bridge, this setup makes the Les Paul Junior an inspiring instrument that'll give you maximum resonance, sustain, and playability in a straightforward design.
