Gibson Les Paul Junior (1956)-£10,250
A fantastic 50s Les Paul Junior with all the mojo you could wish for . The single P90 pickup on this guitar is the best sounding I've ever come across, combined with the mahogany body and Brazilian rosewood fretboard, it sings. For such a simple guitar it's very versatile and this one has tone in spades.
