The 1965 Gibson SG Junior is a classic mid-’60s solidbody featuring a lightweight mahogany body, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, and the stripped-down design that made the Junior a rock-and-roll favorite. Modified with a vintage 1960s Gibson humbucker in place of the original P-90, it delivers a fuller, more powerful voice while retaining the lively resonance, comfortable feel, and unmistakable character of a vintage SG.
