A Very Pretty "Beastie".
This super light guitar weighs just 6.70 lbs. and has a nice, fat nut width of 1 11/16 inches and a standard Gibson scale length of 24 3/4 inches. This is one of the early versions, with a solid mahogany "slab" body with slightly rounded edges, one-piece mahogany neck with that great '59 "baseball bat" style profile, and Brazilian rosewood fretboard with 22 frets and inlaid pearl dot position markers. Headstock with "Gibson" logo and "Les Paul TV Model" silk-screened in gold. Black plastic bell-shaped truss-rod cover. Closed-back single-line Kluson Deluxe strip tuners with white plastic oval buttons. Serial number "9 7836" inked-on in black on the back of the headstock. One super hot black P-90 pickup with a huge output of 8.27k. Black plastic pickup cover stamped on the underside "UC-450-1 / 2". Single-ply tortoiseshell pickguard with four screws. Two controls (one volume, one tone) on the lower treble bout. Black plastic bell-shaped "Bell" knobs. The potentiometers are stamped "134 841" (Centralab October 1959) and the capacitor is the requisite 'Bumble-Bee' type. Combination "wrap-over" bar bridge/stud tailpiece. The back of the black plastic control cover is engraved "Jeannie" and the the inside of the control cover is engraved "Jeannie / Elfgen 1959". There are a few tiny surface marks and indentations on the body of the guitar and a few very small and insignificant surface marks edges of the headstock. Otherwise this is quite simply the finest example of a '59 TV Junior (with a neck to die for) that we have ever seen and therefore our rating of near mint (9.25) condition is fairly conservative. The sound of this little beastie is also quite simply "the bestest"! Housed in the original Gibson brown 'Aligator' softshell case with brown felt lining (9.25).
