The Les Paul Junior was introduced originally to offer an inexpensive guitar to the line, for students or beginning players.  It had one P90 or soap box pickup, which was located near the bridge.  If you are a regular player and have played a guitar using two pickups, you'll know that this is a sort of twangy placement for one pickup.  This gave an edge to players that wanted simplicity and perfection, of Rock and Blues.  In the years to follow, this is exactly what happened.

So how do you know if the Les Paul Junior is the right axe for you?  You might want to dig a little deeper into the setup.  I think the absolutely most appealing thing about the Les Paul Jr is the look.  Having only one pickup gives it an edge.  It's unique in sound and appearance and most importantly to the gigging professional, it was simple.  Unlike traditional Les Paul Guitars there is no blend knob to adjust which of the two pickup to get your sound from.

While we can spend hours and hours digging into what makes the guitar unique and how, we can simply look at the work that has already been done for us by the greats of the Les Paul Jr era.  Here is a small list of some of the famous guitarists that have played this amazing guitar from our resourceful online wikipedia.

If you are interested in a Les Paul Guitar, then you might want to look into these artists and see if their guitar sound is something that interests you.  One of the more legendary artists on the list would be Bob Marley.  His guitar tone was reggae, not Rock or Blues.  I think it goes to show the versatility of this instrument, despite its single pickup configuration.  John Lennon was known for playing a Les Paul Special as well as a Les Paul Jr and is of course one of the most legendary musicians of all time.  In short, these artists of dedicated their lives to giving you a resource to see if the Les Paul Junior is the appropriate guitar for your taste and playing style.
