Gibson SG Junior, Vintage Cherry Overview
Rock 'n' roll needn't be complex. The Gibson SG Junior is a stripped-back rock machine for people who are more concerned about great sound than a multitude of options. A single P-90 with a wraparound bridge gives a snappy and rich tone, one that really opens up with a touch of drive. The Jr is also super-light - so if you like throwing your guitar around when you play, it won't hold you back, and allows you to play for longer.
The SG has a thin, tapered neck which is fast to play right up to the 22nd fret. With its sharp neck joint and horns, it's as comfortable at the top as it is at the bottom. This is a piece of rock history brought back to its '60s spec, providing all the allure that guitarists from AC/DC's Angus Young to Ash's Charlotte Hatherly fell in love with. It's an absolute gem.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionThe epitome of P-90 tone
Created in the '50s and never bested, the P-90 and its unique sound and quality have persisted through the ages, becoming a staple with rock and punk bands. This dog-ear P-90 has a unique bark with rich upper-mid harmonics that will permeate any mix. Combined with the unique attack from the wraparound bridge, it's no wonder why P-90s are mainstays with guitarists. This is the Gibson SG Jr - you don't need anything more.
The lesser-known brother
Originally introduced in '61 as the budget equivalent of the SG Standard, the Jr is nowhere near as common as its older sibling. And that's exactly what makes it so special. Due to its different parts and iconic P-90, it caught the attention of players like Angus Young (AC/DC), Noddy Holder (Slade), and Charlotte Hatherly (Ash). But that doesn't mean it can't be a beautiful sonic tool for you. If you're looking for a new sound, look no further.
Exquisite playability
Unique to hold. The SG differentiates itself from most guitars because of its unique neck and feel. It has a slim taper neck with a 12" radius fretboard that was originally said to be the fastest in the world! Although things have changed since then, it's still incredibly quick and tremendously comfortable - right up to the very last fret.
Vintage touches
A finish that will always develop. The nitrocellulose lacquer on the SG Jr ages with you. The more you play, it'll gain a beautiful, worn-in look over time. Being able to see the history of your own experiences worn into the body is a gratifying experience. And although it's not the most important element of the guitar, it does make it uniquely personal to you.
