Description

The Les Paul Junior first burst onto the scene back in 1954, right in the middle of Gibson’s first “Golden Era”. It was originally dreamed up as a no-nonsense, great‑sounding electric guitar that students and beginners could actually afford — but without sacrificing that legendary Gibson feel.
Stripped back, in the best possible way
Unlike the fancier Les Paul Standards of the time, the Junior kept things gloriously simple. No carved Maple top, no binding, no extra pickup — just a slab Mahogany body and one fierce‑sounding pickup. The result? A stripped‑down rocker with bags of character and zero fuss.
A “student” guitar that became a rock icon
It didn’t take long for players of all levels — including big‑name pros — to realise the Junior was an absolute tone weapon. Soon it was showing up on stages and in studios across the globe. Think Leslie West, Martin Barre, Charlie Starr, Glenn Frey, Johnny Thunders, John Lennon, Billie Joe Armstrong, Steve Howe and loads more. Not bad for a “beginner” guitar.
Epiphone’s modern take on a legend
Now, Epiphone are bringing that magic forward with their updated Les Paul Junior — built for players of today but bursting with the spirit of those vintage classics. You get everything that’s made the Junior a favourite for over seven decades: a single‑cut Mahogany body, a chunky ’50s‑style Mahogany neck that feels properly substantial in the hand, plus a Rosewood board with those iconic dot inlays.
The headstock packs Epiphone Deluxe tuners with vintage‑style ivory buttons, plus a Graph Tech nut for rock‑solid tuning stability. Down at the body end, the compensated Lightning Bar wraparound bridge is bolted straight into the Mahogany for that unmistakable sustain and punch the Junior is famous for.
And to top it all off, the Epiphone Les Paul Junior ships with a premium gig bag — so whether you’re gigging, recording or just heading to rehearsal, you’re ready to rock right out of the box!Key Features
‘50s vintage neck profile: A chunky, hand‑filling neck that gives you that unmistakable old‑school Gibson feel. It’s incredibly comfortable for rhythm work and adds a real sense of solidity when you dig into big bends or bluesy vibrato.
Epiphone P-90 PRO Dogear: This little beast delivers all the raw, snarling midrange and airy top‑end clarity that P‑90s are famous for. From gritty rock riffs to warm, expressive cleans, it gives the Junior its signature punch and presence in the mix.
Lightning Bar compensated wraparound bridge: Bolted straight into the Mahogany body, this bridge serves up rock‑solid intonation and exceptional sustain. It keeps things simple, resonant and gloriously direct — perfect for players who want maximum tone with minimum fuss.
Included premium gig bag: Lightweight, durable and ready for the road, this gig bag keeps your Junior safe between rehearsals, gigs and late‑night jams. It’s the ideal grab‑and‑go companion for players who are always on the move.
