A rare tribute to one of rock’s most influential musicians, the Gibson Custom Shop John Lennon “Inspired By” Les Paul Junior faithfully recreates the modified 1950s Les Paul Junior famously played by John Lennon during his 1972 Madison Square Garden performance. Produced in an ultra-limited run of only 300 instruments worldwide, this collectible Custom Shop model captures the look, feel, and tone of Lennon’s historic guitar.
Built from a solid mahogany body and one-piece mahogany neck, the guitar features the distinctive modifications found on Lennon’s original instrument, including a Charlie Christian–style neck pickup paired with a P-90 bridge pickup, delivering the raw, articulate tone associated with Lennon’s early-1970s performances.
The finish replicates the sanded-down natural mahogany look of Lennon’s original guitar, complete with aged chrome hardware and vintage-correct details. A rosewood fingerboard, long neck tenon, and ABR-1 bridge with stopbar tailpiece ensure classic Gibson tone and sustain.
This example, #084 of only 300 produced, comes with the complete original collector package, including the Custom Shop case, certificate of authenticity, Lennon art print, documentation set, and commemorative accessories.
For collectors, Beatles historians, and Gibson enthusiasts, this is one of the most desirable modern Gibson tribute instruments ever produced.
