SOLD GIBSON CC # 19 1959 LES PAUL JUNIOR # 060

ALL-CC19

Very few black Les Paul Junior Double Cutaways were made in 1959 and even fewer exist today. Collector’s Choice #19 is the first Les Paul Junior to be offered in the series and is based on one of the finest of its kind we’ve seen. It breaths that unmistakable P-90 tone and embodies the trademark feel and Spartan aesthetic that emerged from Gibson’s intent to offer an entry level model that delivered uncompromised performance.


Accurate ’59 neck profile Re-created with True Historic double-carved techniques for that  crucial vintage feel


                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

Aged Lamp Black finish Wet-sanded thin nitrocellulose lacquer for ’59-era look, feel and tone


 

 Butyrate Top Hat knobs Another symbol of our commitment to Historic detail


 

P-90 “Dogear” Pickup For the sweetly aggressive sound of Gibson’s legendary fat single-coil pickup


Lightweight mahogany body Hand selected to match the quality of tonewoods used in vintage guitars


Historic peghead contours “Broken” or rounded headstock edges and body radiuses create that soft, accurate vintage look and feel


 Hide glue neck construction The way it was done in the ’50s, for optimum tone and great build integrity


 Tortoiseshell pickguard Beautifully complements the hand-aged body


 

Aged brown Reissue hardshell case The final touch to an accurate re-creation
