In 1955, the competition to develop and market solid body electric guitars that were both affordable and professionally built was heating up. Just three years earlier, Gibson had introduced the incredible Les Paul model with a $249.50 price tag (including case), yet increased competition was triggering the exploration into new directions that would eventually yield a wide variety of new and innovative Gibson products at various price points. Among those new products was the Les Paul Junior single cutaway model in 1955—a stripped-down, affordable alternative to the more expensive Les Paul model. It was given a dark brown color around the guitar's edge, with a golden sunburst shading in the middle of the body. This finish would eventually become known as Vintage Sunburst.
One of the must have tone monster guitars for any guitar player especially if you are left handed. These are really hard to find as Gibson will only produce small runs of left handed Juniors every year. This one definitely has the correct 50's vintage sunburst vibe. Don't be left out. (worst pun on the website right here.)
