Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Junior Double Cut (stated 1958)

A pared-back Les Paul Junior reissue from Gibson’s Custom Shop, offered at a markedly lower asking price than historical like-for-like benchmarks.

Why we selected it today

Selected because it’s a Custom Shop take on the Les Paul Junior — a simple, single‑pickup design — and the asking price of £1,773.10 is significantly below the historical like‑for‑like asking‑price benchmark, making this a Great Price in our daily feature. The pricing evidence helped too: AG currently rates the asking price as Great Price against its like-for-like comparison set.

The model’s pedigree

The Les Paul Junior is a deliberately simple solid‑body design, traditionally centred on a single P‑90 pickup and straightforward controls. Custom Shop editions target collectors and players seeking period detail or bespoke options.

How the asking price compares

At £1,773.10, this sits against a current median asking price of £2,898.21 across 1 other closely matched listing. For now, the current market median remains the main AG benchmark at £3,029.35. The featured guitar is about 41.5% below that level. That earns AG’s Great Price rating: on the evidence available, it is notably keener than the centre of the current asking-price market. These are observed eBay asking prices, not confirmed sold prices.
