It has been said you can do it all with one (1) pickup...and this 63 SG Junior from the Gibson Custom Shop is one heck of a sexy SG Junior in Antique Pelham Blue! In "MINT" as new condition...originally purchased from the Gibson Garage as a Special Order. This model is a recreation of 1963 specs with the "Les Paul Junior" logo missing from the headstock, a small pickguard, Kluson deluxe 3 inline tuning pegs, and an medium shaped C neck for that vintage feel.
An unbound neck, a single P-90 on the bridge side, and a compensated tailpiece with the combination of an all mahogany guitar truly define the simplicity of this rock and roll legend of a guitar.
Per Gibson...the Gibson SG Junior first appeared in the Gibson catalog in 1961 with the introduction of the SG body shape. The SG Junior replaced the Les Paul™ Junior after the transition from the single cutaway Les Paul shape to the SG shape between 1960 and 1961. The ethos of the model has remained the same, originally being made for student-level players who didn’t need all the bells and whistles that a professional-level player would need. Just a few years after its release, the Junior platform was adopted by rock stars such as Mike Campbell and Leslie West, proving that these simple guitars were capable of much more than they were made to do. While the SG Junior has a single Dogear P-90 pickup, a volume and tone control, and a wraparound bridge, the guitar is simple in design, which is all that some players need.
This guitar is a rock'n roll machine and ready to go. Ships with all the case candy, COA, the original hardshell case and original shipping box from Gibson.
