Les Paul: the musician, the luthier, the legend. Not only is he associated with playing the first solid-body electric guitar, Les Paul's "Log" is actually considered the first solid-bodied electric ever made. Throughout the years, the instruments he had a hand in designing are some of the world's most popular and widely played instruments. When Les Paul Jr. guitars first hit the scene in 1954, they were marketed as simple, no-nonsense six strings. Today, Les Paul Jr. guitars can still be described in pretty much the same way - versatile axes that tackle everything from pop-punk pieces and rock-and-roll riffs to laid-back blues and scorching hot jazz with all the power and prowess known to any guitar that bears the Les Paul name.
One of the first things you'll notice about this section is that it contains Les Paul Jr's from two different brands: Epiphone and Gibson. You'll also notice a difference in price between the two brands and may be wondering which is better. The short answer? Neither is better - both Epiphone and Gibson Les Paul Jr. guitars are fantastic instruments in their own right. Epiphone is more affordable yes, but that definitely doesn't mean it lacks quality. Check out the Epiphone Les Paul Junior Special Electric Guitar. This best-selling Les Paul Junior is designed with a fast-playing neck and resonant tonewood body that enhances the powerful, sustain-drenched tone of the single humbucker in the bridge position. A great choice for beginning guitarists and seasoned pros alike, this Les Paul Jr is a fine first guitar or a budget-friendly solution for experienced musicians who have always wanted to add a LPJ to their collection.
There are lots of Gibson Les Paul Jr. guitars here as well, like the 2015 Les Paul Junior Single Cut Electric Guitar and the Gibson LPJ Electric Guitar, so make sure you spend a bit of time exploring the entire catalog. When push comes to shove, if you're looking for the ultimate Les Paul Jr. experience, any one of these axes will suffice. If you take a minute or two to consider your needs as a musician, your goals and your musical style, you should have no trouble finding the perfect Les Paul Jr. for you.
