As the competition to develop and market affordable and professionally built solid body electric guitars was heating up in the mid-1950s, Gibson branched out into new directions that would eventually yield a wide variety of new and innovative Gibson products at various price points. Among those new products was the Les Paul Junior single cutaway model, which quickly became Gibson’s best-selling model and the instrument of choice for such legends as Leslie West, Keith Richards, Mick Ralphs, Mick Jones and Billie Joe Armstrong. Now Gibson USA offers a tribute to the first budget conscious Les Paul with this modern take on a legend that still keeps that single P-90 "Nice Price".
