Key Specifications
- Body & Neck: Solid mahogany slab body with a 24.75″ scale length and a chunky 50s-style mahogany neck.
- Fretboard: 12″ radius with 22 medium jumbo frets. Recent models feature a rosewood or laurel fretboard.

Originally built in the 1950s as a student guitar, the Junior is celebrated by guitarists for its “plug-and-play” ethos. Because there is only one pickup, there is less magnetic pull on the strings, which many players feel adds extra sustain and clarity. Its uncluttered control layout also makes it an excellent, low-maintenance workhorse for gigging musicians or a great modding platform
