darwinphilosophy Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 I was looking at ebay for some cheap Les Paul style necks and i cam upon this Ebay it says "Jr." is this a different scale size such as for a child? Of course I want to build a normal size guitar...(I know this may be the dumbest question ever) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnewman Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 (edited) The Les Paul Jr. was a lower-cost alternative to a "real" Les Paul. It had a body shape very similar to a "real" Les Paul but was a non-maple-capped flat-top solid mahogany body guitar. Originally they had a single P90 pickup. I'm almost positive they were a standard Les Paul scale length, but I can't promise anything about the heel or neck pocket position or anything. Also, the Les Paul scale length changed a little bit over the years, so there are no guarantees exactly what length it is.

Southpa Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Junior generally refers to the more affordable "student model" of the original. Less / cheaper hardware eg. one pickup, some had wraparound bridge, cheap tuners. etc. scroll down to Junior 1954 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibson_Les_Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertbart Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Same scale length as an L.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
