The Gibson Les Paul Junior is a solid-body electric guitar introduced in 1954 as an affordable, entry-level Les Paul. It was first released with a single-cutaway body style; models with a double-cutaway body style were later introduced in 1958.[3] The Junior continued through the first three years of the Les Paul/SG body redesign. The initial run was discontinued in 1963.
