Gibson 1958 Les Paul Junior Double Cut – Raw Power and Vintage Mojo
The Gibson 1958 Les Paul Junior Double Cut Reissue VOS TV Yellow is a stunning tribute to the year the Junior evolved. Featuring the revolutionary double-cutaway body shape for unprecedented upper-fret access, this Custom Shop masterpiece captures the bold spirit and simple elegance of the late 50s original. It is an instrument designed for players who demand honesty, resonance, and pure tonal muscle.
Crafted from a solid mahogany body, this guitar weighs in at a highly desirable 3.3 kg, offering incredible sustain and a lively acoustic response. At the heart of its amplified voice is the Custom Dog-Ear P90 pickup, hand-wired to CTS 500K Audio Taper pots and Paper-in-Oil capacitors. This setup allows the guitar to snarl with gain or clean up beautifully with the turn of a knob, providing a surprising range of textures from a single-pickup design.
True to its heritage, the guitar features Hide Glue fit construction and a period-correct tubeless truss rod. The chunky 50s Rounded Medium C neck profile provides a substantial and comfortable grip, paired with an Indian Rosewood fretboard and 22 Authentic Medium-Jumbo frets. Finished in iconic TV Yellow with a VOS patina, it includes a simple Wraparound bridge and nickel hardware for the ultimate vintage experience.
