NGD-Gibson Les Paul Jr.with 2 P90s!

First Gibson!

Gibson calls it a "Les Paul Junior Special Exclusive" That has got to be the longest name for a guitar! It plays incredible. Here are a couple pics.

Comfy in the case.

Hanging out on the couch.

With it's 18 year old Epiphone sibling.

Sweet! Love the ones with bound necks
A new P90 guitar is in my foreseeable future.

Very nice, play it in good health and in tune.

I have no idea why Gibson nailed the word "junior" into the name, it's clearly a Les Paul Special reissue.

It was the marketing bozos I'm sure. Thank goodness it wasn't from China or the english translation might be "Gibson Speciality Happiness Les Paul Comfort Executive" or the like....

Nice guitar. Juniors and Specials share the same body. One pickup, Junior, two Special. Specials also have the bound board.

Cool.

I have a "Gibson Les Paul Junior Special Faded with Humbuckers"...so I win the unwieldy Gibson name contest.

I've been looking at that same guitar since I got the new Musicians friend catalog. I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts after you've had her a while. Congrats on your new guitar
