P-90 power up
Stunning simplicity. It may be alone, but this single P-90 roars with the vintage snap that put Gibson on the map. With only one bridge position pickup, you know this sound is all about bite, and the Junior delivers that in buckets – without becoming too saturated. Ripping highs, gutsy mids and rich, twangy lows are all in the P-90 Dog Ear’s wheelhouse.
Full of gnarly crunch potential, this potent pickup is superb for rock, punk and fuzzy blues. Featuring vintage-style construction it provides crystal clear performance, so everything you play is articulated and sharp. Revel in gritty crunch, or roll back for mellow jazzy tones, there’s bondless flexibility in this single P-90.
Junior name, grown up design
Conceived as a student guitar, the Junior has a history stretching back to the ‘50s. It takes the legendary Les Paul form and strips it back for a streamlined look. Barebones. Captivating. And just oh so sleek to play. Carved from a slab of mahogany and finished in a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer it’s simply gorgeous to view, not to mention the rich, developed tones imparted by this premium wood.
With its time-tested shape, it’s so easy to wield at performances, letting you hit the strings with unerring accuracy. Speaking of accuracy, the Gibson excellence extends to the wrap around bridge and hand-wired Volume and Tone controls. Expect excellent tunning stability through the bridge and huge dynamics courtesy of the hand-wired controls with Orange Drop Capacitators.
Release the riffs
Old school cool. Sometimes the old ways are best, and this vintage ‘50s style neck shows it. Carved for comfortable chording or swift riffing, you’ll love how it feels in the hand. Mounted with a rosewood fretboard, it’s a combination that guitarists crave. Soft, smooth and fluid to manoeuvre around, the fretboard is going to bring out nothing but your best.
Roar out some flying solos with expansive pitch bends, because the 22 medium jumbo sized frets make vibratos or bends a breeze. Capped off with a Graph Tech nut, each string attack will ring pure, free from buzz and with bags of sustain.
