The Epiphone Les Paul Junior is part of the company’s "Inspired by Gibson" collection and is available now at Guitar Center. The Junior was first released in 1954 as a student-level guitar, but over the decades it has made its way into countless classic songs and into the hands of legendary guitar greats. Featuring a mahogany body with a single dog ear P-90 Pro pickup, the Epiphone Les Paul Junior captures the essence of the original. It is ideal for players who want Gibson look and tones but at a more affordable price.


Epiphone Les Paul Junior Main Features

  • Mahogany body
  • Mahogany neck with vintage ’50s profile, 22-fret Indian laurel fretboard with 12" radius
  • Dogear Pro P-90 single-coil pickup with volume and tone controls
  • Lightning bar wraparound bridge, Graph Tech nut


Mahogany Body Construction

Like the original 1954 Junior, the Epiphone Les Paul Junior has a slab mahogany body. This tonewood has a well-defined mid-range and a low-key high end, making it the perfect platform for a P-90.

Vintage Profile Neck

Epiphone paired the Les Paul Jr. with a mahogany neck. Fans of older instruments will appreciate its vintage ’50s profile. The Indian laurel fretboard has a 12" radius to eliminate “fretting out” while bending strings. The ’60s Kalamazoo headstock makes this Epiphone look more like a Gibson than ever before.

Simple but Effective Electronics

With a dog ear Pro P-90, the Les Paul Junior will fit into any genre of music. It is a sensitive single coil—played with a light touch, the Pro P-90 is full and clean; with a harder pick attack, the sound begins to growl and distort in the best way possible. The volume and tone controls give the Les Paul Junior a surprising sonic versatility.

Rock-Solid Hardware

A combination Lightning Bar wraparound bridge/tailpiece maximizes the string-to-body transfer of energy for greater sustain. Epiphone Deluxe Vintage tuners are nickel plated like the Lightning Bar, and have old-school ivory buttons.

Additional features include a mother-of-pearl logo on the headstock, dot inlays and black Top Hat knobs. For players looking for classic Gibson features at a more affordable price—without compromises—the Epiphone Les Paul Junior is a solid choice.
