One of the Very Earliest Double-Cutaway Les Paul Juniors.

One of the very earliest examples with the noticeably sharper body edges and smaller frets. This solid mahogany bodied guitar weighs just 6.60 lbs. One-piece mahogany neck with a great fat profile and a nut width of 1 11/16 inches. Brazilian rosewood fretboard with 22 original medium frets and inlaid pearl dot position markers. One P-90 pickup with an output of 7.94k and a combination "wrap-over" bridge/tailpiece. An excellent example with some good old fashioned playing wear BUT in totally original condition. This featherweight little Junior wails like a banshee…and stings like a bumble-bee! Housed in a later (eighties) black hardshell case with gray plush lining (8.75). In 1958 the Junior, Junior 3/4 and TV were revamped with a completely new double-cutaway body shape. Ted McCarty explained the re-design as a reaction to player's requests. 'They wanted to be able to thumb the sixth string,' he said, 'but they couldn't do it if the only cutaway was over on the treble side. So we made them with another cutaway, so they could get up there. We did things that the players wanted, as much as anything.'
