Interesting.
Do you know where the picture comes from?

Somebody posted it on The Gear Page asking the same question.

Look at his right forefinger.... perhaps the result of a pre-OSHA incident.

2 pcs. body Juniors did happen back then, but they are rare.

Here's an old thread about them:

1 or 2 piece bodies for 50s Juniors?

Were the bodies of the 1950s single cutaway Junior model made of a single piece slab of wood... or were multiple pieces used?

My ‘56 Junior is a 2 piece body (don’t let the ‘55 knobs throw ya).
You can see the center seem if you catch the light just right.

Besides being a textbook example of this thread's subject, ^^ that is just one Helluva sexy mojo oozing looking Gibson. I bet it also sounds as good as it looks?
Drooling..

Thanks! That’s an ‘07 R8, staying cozy in an old Lifton.

Forgot to post one of the back side. It’s incredibly tricky to capture the seem, being a well jointed seem, darker stain, and all the dings. I barely noticed it at first when I was purchasing the guitar.

I could make out the seam in both front and back pic, no problem.

Good job, these capture the essence of that guitar very well!

I've run across several.
