🔥 2001 Gibson Limited Edition Les Paul Junior Special Plus – Stunning Amber Flame with Gold Hardware! 🔥
For sale: a rare and gorgeous 2001 Gibson Limited Edition Les Paul Junior Special Plus in rich Amber finish that was originally exported to Yamano Music in Tokyo. This factory-original beauty rocks a sick flat AAAAA flamed maple top with bold, tight flames that catches the eye from every angle. Paired with gleaming gold hardware, it has serious presence and vintage-inspired swagger.
Equipped with full-size humbuckers (all factory original), this Limited Edition delivers thick, singing Les Paul tone with excellent sustain and dynamics — perfect for fat rhythms, smooth leads, and everything in between. It combines the lightweight, resonant feel of a Junior platform with upgraded versatility and visual punch.
Condition:
• Excellent overall condition for a 23-year-old guitar
• The top, sides, neck, and hardware remain very clean and impressive
• A few minor spots and scuffs on the back (normal honest wear for its age — clearly visible in the pics)
This is a great-playing instrument that’s been well cared for and still looks and sounds fantastic. The flame on that maple top really makes it pop, and the amber finish glows beautifully under stage lights or in the studio.
Comes with the original Gibson case.
Whether you’re after a unique Limited Edition Les Paul with real flame, gold appointments, and humbucker power — or simply a killer-playing guitar with personality — this 2001 Junior Plus is a winner.
DM me for more photos, close-ups of the flame and back, or a playing video. Shipping available.
These limited-run flamed Juniors don’t surface often. If this one speaks to you, don’t wait — it’s ready to make music! 🎸✨

Our Guarantee
We stand behind every guitar we sell. “Good enough” is never good enough. Every instrument is inspected, set up, and tested by multiple people immediately before shipping. We deliver the highest standard of quality and have built a reputation as a three-time NAMM Top 100 Dealer since 2009. The Dude Abides.
Neck & Setup - (unless otherwise noted)
- Neck is perfectly straight with no truss-rod issues.
- Intonation is spot-on.
- Professionally set up with low action and new American-made strings.
- All frets are dressed, leveled, crowned (if needed), and all frets on all guitars are polished to shine like new with no divots.
Return Policy, Restocking Fees & No Tire-Kicking Policy
We follow Reverb’s 7-day return policy. However:
- You must
notify us in writing within 3 days of delivery (per tracking) of your intent to return.
- Original shipping and return shipping costs are not refunded unless the guitar is damaged in transit or is significantly not as described.
- A 15% restocking fee applies to all returns for any reason other than damage in transit or significantly not as described.
We do our best to honestly describe and photograph every guitar and most of the noticeable imperfections. That said, we are human, if something very small can be overseen, if tiny marks, dings or super fine scratches (normal wear) bother you, please don't buy.
We record demo videos of every guitar before shipping to document exact condition and performance. Additional photos, measurements, or in-hand descriptions are available upon request prior to purchase.
Minor adjustments and tweaks to a set up (for example to correct a slight buzz or truss-rod tweak) are normal after shipping due to carrier mishandling the package, climate & atmospheric changes, especially when moving from South Florida to colder or less humid environments. These slight issues do not constitute “significantly not as described.” Guitars must be returned in the exact same condition as received/advertised or additional repair/restocking fees will apply.
We are a small family owned and run business, not a big-chain retailer. We invest significant time, money and effort into every guitar. This is a NO TIRE-KICKING shop. There is no post purchase haggling, returns without restocking fees or partial refunds. If minor cosmetic marks, tiny imperfections, or the possibility of a post-shipping setup tweak makes you uncomfortable, please do not buy. Plenty of large retailers offer free trials and can absorb shipping costs—we do not.
Payment, Shipping & International Duties
- All items can be shipped internationally. Buyer is fully responsible for all import duties, taxes, and customs fees.
- We accept PayPal, PayPal Credit, Affirm, and other major payment methods.
- Most U.S. shipments are sent via UPS or FedEx with full insurance, tracking, and signature confirmation. All packages are professionally packed for maximum protection.
International Shipping Note
International shipping prices shown are for most countries. Certain countries have higher costs. We try and avoid USPS and mostly ship UPS, but USPS is the only available or reasonable carrier in certain situations. Express services (UPS, DHL, FedEx) are always available.
