Les Paul junior single piece mahogany body?

[atj13]

Is the Gibson Les Paul Junior (current manufacture) a single piece body?

 

Thanks,

 

Aaron.

Generally a Les Paul is 3 pieces of wood, body and a 2 piece top (book cut), the junior however, since it doesn't have a curved top, is indeed a solid piece of wood (usually mahogany).

If it's stained (not painted), you'll have to examine the end grain to confirm it's a one piece body, as there are 2 and even 3 piece bodies that are joined nicely and the joint is sometimes hard to see looking at the top or back.

I think the older ones were one piece, but as years progress you start the see multi piece bodies.

Gibson have advised that it is multiple pieces and this can be seen if you look closely enough.
