1956 Gibson Les Paul Junior Electric Guitar (Lefty Setup)

Shop bud Mike Brown found another killer old Gibson to add to his arsenal. This one's a '56 Jr and, while in rough condition in some ways, it's a pretty glorious piece of equipment. It's original through save the bridge and half of the tuners. I'm also not sure about the knobs...?

The best bit, of course, is that someone replaced a damaged headstock wing with a bit of pine. It was trimmed a little wonkily but I reprofiled it where it meets the curve of the neck proper so it's more comfortable. Mike had scrounged the old Badass bridge from his parts bins and it has just enough length to adapt to the old bridge studs to allow lefty compensation. How about that?
