#Gibson SG 1963 Junior Reissue Lightning Bar VOS #201863

Originally intended as a cheap entry-level model, the Gibson SG Junior has become an insider tip among guitar purists. Restriction to the absolutely essential is the motto here: Simple body, no binding, simple bridge, just a P-90 "Dogear" pickup in the bridge position, plus a volume and tone control, and that's it. But … often less is more! An old adage says: "You need ONE really good sound, nothing more!" The installed P-90 pickup offers just the right amount of crunch and fat sound - snappier than a single coil, but not as queasy as a humbucker. Pure vintage sound! This is exactly why the SG Junior is still used by well-known artists in blues and rock music to this day.

Here is an authentic reissue of a 1963 SG Junior from the Gibson Custom Shop. Equipped with all the noble ingredients that guarantee an excellent sound: Mahogany body, Indian rosewood fretboard, a Gibson Custom Dog-Ear P-90 pickup and "Paper-in-Oil" capacitors. As a special feature, this Custom Shop 1963 SG Junior was equipped with a "Lightning Bar Wraparound Tailpiece" bridge, a bridge construction that was installed on the first Les Pauls in the 50s. With the SG Junior, this ensures a very direct and dynamic tone.
