| 33. Feast your eyes, ears and fingers on this Epiphone
version of the hottest Les Paul Guitar that Gibson ever
made, the Les Paul Jr. It was a lighter version of the more
sophisticated electronics of the Les Paul Custom and the other
Les Paul models. First produced in 1952, Musicians loved this
guitar because it was very light (weight) and the neck was perfect
for smaller handed players. Its flat un-carved body was and
remains a very attractive instrument today. Epiphone is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Gibson Guitars and is the only other entity
permitted to build the Les Paul Jr. This lightly used (broken
in & sounds awesome) black body, cherry neck and chrome hardware
make this great 1st guitar along with a genuine Gibson USA gig-bag,
worth $250. Bid Hi! |
