Gibson Les Paul Junior (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibson_Les_Paul_Junior )
The Gibson Les Paul Jr. was initially released in 1954 as an affordable, entry level Les Paul electric guitar. It retailed for $49.50 USD and was a very successful guitar for Gibson. It was first released in a single cut body style but double cuts were released later in 1958.
The goal for the Les Paul Jr. was to have a high quality guitar that was still affordable for students to buy. In order for this to happen, the Jr. was stripped down to the basics; one pickup, one volume knob. It was equipped with one P-90 dog ear pickup in the bridge. It was initially released in TV Yellow for a better appearance on televisions.
In the 1960s and 1970s the Les Paul Jr. became very popular because of its simplicity and distinguishable tone when played through a high gain amplifier. The single P-90 pickup gave the guitar a distinct crunch that was desired by ROCK and blues players of the time.
Billie Joe sometimes uses Les Paul Junior.
I'm using a Gibson Les Paul Studio but its about $15000. I begged my parents to death for buying me that. But Junior is a bit cheaper.
My frd uses Spuier Showmaster Rally Stripe HH she said its gd, the frets r fine but i dunno how much does it costs u...Or maybe Bullet Series r fine too.
I suppose that u should go to Tom Lee n pick up the ones u think they look good n which r about 3000-4000 then start strumming them see which is the most comfortable lor...
hope it helps...
enjoy playing the guitar ^_^
