Iconic tone from a single P-90 Pro pickup





The P-90 Pro single-coil pickup in the Epiphone Les Paul Junior is designed with many of the features of the original P-90 pickups created by Seth Lover in the '50s. It's a sensitive pickup that responds amazingly well to the nuances of your picking. Dig in and it starts to growl with a vocal-like quality. Played cleanly, the sound is rich and sparkling. If you love the articulation of single-coil pickups, but want a bit more girth to your tone, the P-90 Pro pickup is the perfect choice.





Iconic Les Paul heritage





Since its release in the early 1950s, the Les Paul has been one of the most popular solidbody electric guitars in the world. It's used in genres ranging from country to metal and can be found in the hands of players as diverse as Zakk Wylde, Neil Young, and the man whose name adorns the headstock. These beauties are capable of sounds that are rich, warm, and clear, while they can get aggressive, cutting, and mean with little effort. Just about every guitarist at Sweetwater has a Les Paul in their collection ? and for good reason.





Quality tonewoods and components





The Epiphone Les Paul Junior sings with all the fatness and clarity of its more expensive cousins. That's due in large part to the body's mahogany construction. Mahogany is a well-known tonewood for its mix of harmonic richness and impressive sustain. The sonic excellence is enhanced further by the Graph Tech nut, which offers better tone and better tuning stability than plastic nuts.
