1956 LP Jr!
« on: August 08, 2013, 08:25:22 PM »
While attending the annual Heritage Guitar Owners Club, a friend of mine let me play his 1956 Gibson Les Paul Jr.  Only a Pot was replaced, the rest is all original!



Tone for days! Absolutely loved the neck profile.  I was playing through a Chicago Blues Box 18 watt combo.  Also killer.

I don't have a picture, but I also played a 1959 Gibson Les Paul Jr Double Cut.  Another fine instrument!

This pic is for the year before, but this the LP Jr DC I was talking about.  It's actually in the pic from above but only from a side angle on the guitar stand.  This one was Cherry, but the color completely melted away over the past 50 years.  The guy holding it bought it used in 1976.

Sounds like a great playing experience!  8)

I'd be worried playing a guitar in that league in case it damaged my love of my own cheap-o guitars.

I've been fortunate enough to play some rather expensive guitars... Didn't bother me a bit, but I wouldn't use it at a gig...
