Gibson LP Junior 58 DC TVY VOS LH

Gibson LP Junior 58 DC TVY VOS LH review

The Gibson LP Junior 58 DC TVY VOS LH is a left-handed, six-string electric guitar built around a mahogany body, a mahogany neck, and a single Custom Dogear P-90 pickup. The specifications identify it as a Custom Shop model based on the Les Paul Junior 1958, with a double-cutaway body and a 628 mm scale. It has been available since April 2024. No customer reviews are available, so this assessment is limited to the product's listed construction and hardware rather than claimed player experiences.

The listed price is 3,399, although the supplied information does not specify a currency. The item number is 549957. Gibson describes the finish as TV Yellow, while the general color field says yellow. A case and certificate are included. A gig bag is not listed as included.

Body, neck, and playability specifications

Both the body and neck are mahogany, with no separate top. That makes the body specification straightforward: there is no listed maple cap or other contrasting top wood. The fingerboard is rosewood, described in the detailed specifications as a one-piece fingerboard. The neck profile is Chunky C, a substantial shape by name, though the listing provides no neck-depth measurements or other dimensions that would let a buyer compare it precisely with another guitar.

The 628 mm scale is shorter than the 648 mm scale common on many electric guitars. The supplied specifications do not give string gauge or setup measurements, so they do not establish a particular string tension or action. The guitar has 22 authentic medium-jumbo frets. No fretboard radius, nut width, or fret material is specified. Buyers who rely on those measurements should confirm them with the seller before ordering.

Since this is the left-handed model, its orientation is a defining purchase detail, not an optional setup choice. The model name also includes "LH." Check the exact product listing and case configuration to ensure the delivered instrument matches that orientation.

Pickup, controls, and hardware

The guitar uses one Custom Dogear P-90 single-coil pickup. The listing gives no pickup output, magnet type, or frequency response, so those details cannot be assessed from the available data. Its single-pickup arrangement keeps the listed electronics simple, with no neck pickup or pickup selector specified. Gibson lists 500K CTS potentiometers and paper-in-oil capacitors. The number and arrangement of the controls are not stated in the supplied specifications.

A 1950s-style wraparound bridge is fitted, with no tremolo system. This is a fixed-bridge configuration. The product details do not provide individual saddle adjustment information or intonation specifications. Tuning machines are Kluson Deluxe "3 on-a-plate" units, and the control knobs are gold Top Hat style. A tortoiseshell pickguard completes the listed hardware and appearance details.

Construction and included items

Gibson lists all-hide-glue construction, but does not specify which joints or components use that adhesive. The model is made in the United States and belongs to the Custom Shop range. Those details identify its stated production origin and series; they do not, by themselves, establish how an individual instrument is set up or finished. The finish designation VOS appears in the product name, while the color is given as TV Yellow. No further finish process description is included.

The package includes a case and certificate. There is no gig bag included, according to the data. The sales unit is one piece. The limited-run field says none, so the provided information does not identify this as a limited run. The specifications also do not state the case type, certificate contents, instrument weight, or whether a setup is performed before shipment.

What the specifications establish

On paper, this is a left-handed Custom Shop Les Paul Junior-style guitar with a double-cutaway mahogany body, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, one P-90 pickup, and fixed wraparound bridge. Its 628 mm scale, Chunky C neck profile, and 22 medium-jumbo frets give buyers several concrete points to compare against their preferences. The listed controls and hardware are similarly specific, but the absence of dimensions for the neck and fingerboard limits finer comparisons.

There are no customer reviews available for this product. Nothing in the supplied data supports claims about sound quality, comfort, tuning stability, factory setup, or reliability. For a purchase at the stated price figure, confirm the currency, current availability, exact finish, case details, and any missing measurements with the retailer. The specifications provide a clear overview of the materials and components, but a hands-on inspection or a detailed seller confirmation is needed to answer questions they leave open.
