The Gibson 1958 Les Paul Jr. Double Cut VOS, TV White is a complete revamped version of the Les Paul Junior in July of 1958.
The Gibson 1958 Les Paul Junior Double Cutaway from the Gibson Custom Shop recreates one of the most popular Gibson models from the company’s famed “Golden Era” of the late 1950s and early 1960s. The symmetrical rounded double cutaways are exact reproductions of the legendary 1958 model.
The slab mahogany body remains slightly lighter than the standard Les Paul, and Gibson’s legendary dog-eared P-90 pickup offers the soulful, classic tone that only a P-90 can, with more warmth than a standard singlecoil pickup, and blended with higher output and sweet treble response.
The Les Paul Junior’s body and 24 3/4-inch scale length neck are made from premium mahogany, with the neck featuring a long neck tenon, 22-fret rosewood fingerboard, pearloid dot inlays, and Gibson’s traditional ’50s rounded neck profile.
The CTS pots, bumble bee capacitors, nickel hardware, white-button tuners, and lightweight aluminum wraparound tailpiece are all period-correct. It is available in TV White finish V.O.S. and comes with the standard Gibson Custom Shop case and certificate of authenticity.
VOS stands for “Vintage Original Spec”. The finishing process on VOS models has been customised to reflect the way Gibson finished Les Paul guitars back in the '50s. They receive a thinner nitro-cellulose lacquer finish which is applied, sanded, and buffed by hand; in other words, more care is put into the finishing process. This extra care is intended to make VOS guitars look like gently aged and well-cared-for vintage guitars. It also helps the guitars 'breathe' better and therefore to resonate and sustain more freely, making them much better instruments.
