This 1965 Gibson SG Junior is a great example of a mid '60's single pickup Gibson solid body. The SG Junior followed in the tradition of the Les Paul Junior that went before it, with a versatility that belies its simplicity. Since their introduction in 1954, these no frills, stripped back Junior models have been a go to for players of all different kinds, with a tone and playability that makes them far more versatile than their simple design would have you believe. This example is from the earliest part of 1965, with a '65 serial number but '64 specs, before the model incorporated the larger pick guard and soap bar P90.
This guitar is in very good condition, and is internally and externally original with the exception of a replacement dog ear P90 cover. The neck profile is a chunky 'C' style shape, and retains the slightly wider 43mm nut width found on Gibson guitars during this period. The original P90 pickup is present and correct, as are the pots, which date to the 7th week of 1965. The tuners, bridge and all other hardware are original and fully functioning. This guitar also includes a later period Gibson chip board case.
This guitar has been given a full service & appraisal by our luthiers at the Vintage Instrument Workshop, and includes a 3 year warranty.
