The Epiphone Les Paul Junior brings the no-frills attitude of a rock classic into a modern, accessible build. As part of Epiphone’s Inspired by Gibson collection, this model stays true to the original Junior formula with a slab mahogany body, a single-cutaway shape, and a stripped-down control layout that keeps tone and feel front and center. A hand-filling 50s Vintage neck profile and a single Epiphone P-90 PRO Dogear pickup give the guitar a direct, responsive voice that rewards picking dynamics and expressive playing, making it a strong choice for players who value simplicity with real character.
Single P-90 Pickup Defines the Junior Sound
The Epiphone P-90 PRO Dogear pickup sits in the bridge position and defines the sound of this Les Paul Junior. Its punchy, mid-forward voice cuts through a mix with ease while remaining highly responsive to touch. From gritty overdrive to clear, articulate cleans, the pickup translates picking intensity and volume adjustments directly into tone.
Lightning Bar Bridge Supports Sustain and Intonation
A compensated Lightning Bar wraparound bridge is bolted directly into the mahogany body, helping transfer string vibration efficiently for strong sustain and clear intonation. This solid, straightforward design keeps notes ringing and makes string changes quick and uncomplicated, reinforcing the Junior’s raw, immediate feel.
Minimal Controls Encourage Expressive Playing
With just a master volume and master tone control, shaping your sound is fast and intuitive. High-quality CTS potentiometers provide smooth, reliable response, allowing you to move easily between clean and driven tones without distraction. The minimal layout encourages players to rely on touch, dynamics, and amplifier interaction rather than complex switching.
Mahogany Construction Delivers Warmth and Stability
The solid mahogany body and neck contribute warmth, sustain, and a balanced feel. A rosewood fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays offers a familiar playing surface, while a Graph Tech nut and Epiphone Deluxe tuners with ivory buttons help maintain tuning stability during regular practice and performance. The overall construction is built to handle years of rehearsals, gigs, and daily use.
A Focused Junior with Enduring Appeal
Players drawn to direct, expressive rock tones will appreciate what the Epiphone Les Paul Junior delivers. Its straightforward design and historic roots, carried forward as part of the Inspired by Gibson collection, make it a guitar that encourages tone shaping through touch and intent. From home practice to the stage, this Junior offers honest sound, solid feel, and timeless style without unnecessary complexity.
