Here's a played but solid Les Paul Junior for your drooling pleasure.
Juniors, SGs, ES-330s - guitars with P-90s are just about the hottest part of the market these days. This is the product of our ears. Players get that these guitars are tonal beasts that are the tone behind so many great recordings.
This example shows plenty of wear that likely resulted in substantial fret wear as well, but the frets were professionally replaced. The new frets feel great and show little use.
The neck set is perfect as well - this one is a great player. The guitar was made for export, so there is a very small Made in USA stamp at the very tip of the back of the headstock. This is something that you can find documented out there on the interwebs.
There are no repairs to the neck or neck heel, issues that are common on this model. The truss rod was tested and is effective. There is no overspray on the finish.
The tuners have been replaced with aged, appropriate replacements that did not require alteration of the headstock. The original tuners are in the case. The buttons on the original tuners disintegrated but the tuners look like they'd still work just fine.
The pots are changed, the capacitor as well, with high quality, modern parts. The pickup is original. The bridge is original as well. The output jack and jack plate appear to be replaced. The pickguard and back plate are original.
This one is ready to go with no work or repairs needed. You can put it back to work immediately.
The case is a modern Epiphone hardshell.
