The SG "Junior" was Gibson's version of a more affordable SG model guitar. These thin, contoured-bodied SG Junior model debuted sometime in 1960.

In 1967, there was a only a total of 1144 Juniors produced, and less than 7% of them were finished in the optional Polaris White (custom color), making this a much rarer variety.

This era SG has a 1-piece Mahogany neck construction and the nut width on this particular example is the expected 1 9/16" inches, as well as sporting the nicer looking, early style knobs. These changed to the witch-hat knobs shortly after production started.

SG Juniors are known to be particularly lively guitars and this one doesn't disappoint. Tone-wise this guitar is loud and resonant with that gritty vintage Gibson sound that gives it a naturally aggressive tone - just like all the best SG Juniors. Please see our embedded YouTube video demonstration so you can hear this exact guitar for yourself!

Awesome sounding, and playing guitar. The original trem arm is included and can be found stored inside the case pocket. Non original/ newer hard shell Gibson branded case included. This SG Jr appears to almost be all original with the exception of the tuners. See the last photo, and it's noticeable where the outline was left from the stock tuners. This is actually quite common to see because Gibson was re-using the unbranded tuners found on the Melody Maker models at the time to lower costs.

Many owners simply replaced the unbranded MM tuners with the real deal 2 line Kluson Deluxe tuners... which is exactly what happened in this instance as well.

The real Kluson's have the exact same screw spacing and size as the fake ones... thus, swapping the tuners out would have been an incredibly easy upgrade to make without being invasive and drilling new holes.

There's lots of rad checking in the finish, as well as it's fair share of nicks & dings throughout (see photos). On our scale here at the shop this guitar weighs in at 6lbs 4oz.
