Gibson 1963 SG Junior Reissue Lightning Bar VOS Cherry Red

The SG Junior was introduced to the world in the early 1960s as a lower-priced version of the SG to bring the model's signature sound to a broader audience of players, much like the Les Paul Junior had a few years before. However, guitarists discovered that "Junior" was somewhat of a misnomer — it had a big, bold, and totally unique sound that was embraced by bluesman, garage rockers, psychedelic guitarists, and proto-punks. For this stunning reissue, Gibson went back to the very beginning of the SG Junior, meticulously replicating the guitar's signature features, including an extended neck tenon, hide glue construction, and a single P-90 pickup — a favorite of guitarists. One look, and you'll be captured by the SG Junior's classy, understated look. Plug it in, and you'll be blown away by its inimitable rock 'n' roll tone!
