The LES PAUL JUNIOR TV was made between 1954 and 1960. Some were made with a three-quarter sized body. They had single cutaway bodies up until 1958 then the shape changed to double cutaway. The TV version (finished in a kind of limed yellow, also known as TV Yellow) was produced for professional musicians appearing on television; the yellow would appear white on 1950s black and white television, without the camera glare of a true white finish.
