This Willcutt–exclusive 1957 Les Paul Junior reissue nails the stripped-down magic of the originals while adding a rare Pelham Blue VOS finish that looks absolutely killer in person. The single P-90 delivers that unmistakable raw, snarling Junior attitude—open, dynamic, and wildly responsive to picking nuance. With its chunky ‘50s neck, hide-glue rosewood board, and 1-piece mahogany body, this one feels every bit like a vintage workhorse, just cleaner, tighter, and beautifully crafted by the Custom Shop.

A killer player’s Junior with serious vibe, premium specs, and a finish you basically never see on a ’57 reissue.
