Gibson Les Paul Standard 60s vs Gibson Les Paul Junior
The Les Paul Standard '60s is the more versatile guitar: two Burstbucker humbuckers, a maple cap, handwired electronics with Orange Drop capacitors and a SlimTaper neck cover rock, blues and clean work. The Junior is a stripped single-pickup slab that feels faster and more direct, and its owners rate it highly for punch and simplicity. Buy the Standard if you want a lifer with tonal range; buy the Junior if you want one great bridge tone and less to fiddle with.
- Choose the Les Paul Standard '60s if you want two humbuckers, coil-splitting-style tonal range from handwired electronics, and a bound maple-topped body.
- Choose the Les Paul Junior if you want a light, no-frills slab guitar with one hot bridge pickup and a fast, simple feel.
