The Twelfth Fret

Gibson Les Paul Junior Lite DC Cinnamon Red, 1999

On July 4, 2023 /

Built from 1999 to 2002, the Gibson Les Paul Junior Lite sports an LP Special Double Cut style body and a pair of hum-cancelling P-100 pickups, in a Red finish. This is a great little rock or country guitar. The Les Paul Special was introduced in 1955 as a single-cutaway guitar to provide a lower cost model in the Les Paul line, and it immediately took a place in the rock arsenal. In 1958, it received a major makeover with the double-cut (DC) body design, which provides unrestricted access to all the frets.

Tokai ‘SG Standard’ Cherry Red, 2000

On July 4, 2023 /

Here we have a Tokai ‘SG Standard’ in a gloss Cherry Red finish, dating to around 2000. It was built in Korea and has no serial number, which places it between the mid 1990s and 2005. This particular example was purchased used by the current owner around 2002 in nearly new condition. It’s still in quite good shape and plays very well.

The Gibson ES-135H was the ‘Humbucker’ equipped version of the ES-135, a single-cut Semi-Hollow Archtop built in Memphis from 1991 to 2004. Many of these models used P-100 pickups – a stacked humbucker with the outline of a P-90. Some models used a Trapeze tailpiece, others as seen here a standard Tune-O-Matic and Stop Tailpiece combination.
