Gibson VOS 58 LES PAUL JUNIOR D. CUT: Just as the Les Paul Custom was the deluxe model of the Les Paul line, the Junior (also introduced in 1954) was the economy model.
With its no-nonsense look, single P-90 pickup, the Junior was an instant sensation In 1958, Gibson changed the Junior's body shape to a double cutaway and changed the standard finish from dark sunburst to cherry red.
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.
