An exceptional 1964 Gibson SG Junior finished in its original Cherry nitrocellulose lacquer. Widely regarded as one of the finest years for the SG Junior, the 1964 model represents the mature evolution of Gibson's iconic single-pickup design before later production changes. With its lightweight all-mahogany construction, original dog-ear P-90 pickup and wraparound bridge, the SG Junior delivers the raw, articulate tone that has made it a favourite of everyone from vintage collectors to modern touring musicians.

Simple by design yet remarkably expressive, the SG Junior proves that less really can be more. Its single bridge-position P-90 offers exceptional dynamic range, responding beautifully to your picking attack and guitar volume control. From sparkling cleans to snarling vintage overdrive, this is one of Gibson's purest rock-and-roll instruments and an enduring favourite for blues, punk, indie and classic rock players.
