Gibson Les Paul Jr Quality Control Question

[la szum]

I see these guitars and they immediately remind me of the Epiphone model I bought my son years ago for $99. I know I shouldn't; but I have real troubles reconciling that with a Gibson branded model.

Well, the Juniors were originally student model guitars. So it makes total sense.

Totally stripped down with none of the bling or binding. The OG Budget guitar.

The design of these is exactly how you should make a budget guitar. Leaving out cosmetic options but making the core guitar out of the same quality materials and keeping it simple.

Compressed sawdust FTW! (sorry couldn't help myself it just felt right)

This specific guitar intonates perfectly surprisingly. Makes me wonder if that is what allowed it to leave the factory.
