About This Listing

This is probably the coolest Gibson SG Junior for sale on the planet right now...

Devastating Ember Red Gibson SG Junior from 1965 but with all 1964 spec including wide 43mm nut and nice biggish '64 neck.

Very nice finish with a smattering of dings but no sign of fading and nothing to really detract from this killer guitar. This red is more commonly seen on the big ticket guitars such as the firebirds with only a few juniors being finished in custom colours.

 It has the classic short Vibrola fitted, the nickel/chrome transitional hardware having survived remarkably well.

The headstock shows no signs of having any other tuners fitted. There are no signs of breaks or repairs either on the headstock join or on the neck/body join.

What is also nice about this one is it has the 43mm nut width married to a nice feeling big neck with a pleasing fullness.The original frets are in excellent shape and the guitar plays really well with a good action.

Plastics are in excellent shape.

Electrically everything looks correct and undisturbed and it is nice to find one like this completely un-molested.

Single, original P-90 is powerful, giving the guitar a wonderfully articulate voice.

The guitar comes with a hardshell case

Have a look at the pictures, I think you will agree it is a lovely example of a very cool and rare guitar... Find another!

Product Overview
In 1961, the Gibson Les Paul Junior model morphed into what we now know as the SG body shape, a sharp double-cutaway guitar which was a drastic departure from the original Les Paul design. The all mahogany SG Junior sported a single bridge position P-90 pickup and an unbound rosewood fretboard with dot inlays. The models displayed here feature a factory vibrola/vibrato tailpiece, though the option seemingly was never offered in Gibson's catalogs. Models from 1961 and the first half of 1962 actually say "Les Paul Model" on the headstock, even though Les Paul himself had no input into the design of the guitar.

The wraparound tailpiece versions of the SG Junior can be found here.
