Gibson Les Paul Junior vs Gibson Les Paul Studio
The Les Paul Studio is the more versatile guitar: two Burstbucker Pro humbuckers with coil taps cover humbucker and single-coil tones, and its weight-relieved body is easier on the shoulder. The Junior is a stripped single-pickup rock machine with a slab mahogany body and a wraparound-style bridge; it does one thing and does it well. Buy the Studio if you want range and a slimmer neck; buy the Junior if you want simplicity and classic P-90 grit.
- Choose the Les Paul Junior if you want one pickup, a fat rounded neck and a raw rock tone with nothing extra to adjust.
- Choose the Les Paul Studio if you want two humbuckers, coil-tap switching and a lighter, slimmer-necked Les Paul.
