Hey Andrew

I used to own two of these 1953 double cutaway Gibsons Les Paul Special and recorded with them!. I broke the neck by accident on one of them and never forgave myself!.

I paid $125 then, at a pawn shop!. Now, the $2600 is the real deal and that is what my old 1953 would be worth today!. The one you have the link to is almost an exact replica at 99%!.

What you are buying is good!. Don';t kid yourself!. But the bite of those original 1953, and the sustain is out of this world!.
You pay for what you get!. The older the wood, the more money!.

I now own a 1963 Gibson Les Paul Gold Top and evaluated between $12k and $22,000!. I paid, believe it or not, $80 at the time because the guy needed money to but some drugs!.
You might say I was lucky!. Twice in a row !? Yup!.!.

But, it boils down to the guitar player!. The guitar sounds as good as you can play it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have to disagree with the other poster!. "Junior" does not mean a cheaper/crappy guitar!. I have several Les Pauls of which one is a Junior!. With the P90 pickups, it provides a much different sound a biting single coil instead of a humbucker!. The gtr on the link is probably the same size as a Junior, it just has the cutaway instead of the rounded portion, so it may look smaller!. thanks for posting the link - i may pick one up myself!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

it should be the same size!.!.
"junior" in terms of Gibson guitars just means they are cheaper/crappier !.!.and not that they are for little kids who are smallerWww@QuestionHome@Com
