A fantastic collector grade 1963 Les Paul/SG Junior. One of the last with the Les Paul name on the headstock before the model officially became known as a SG Junior. Completely original and with no breaks or repairs. Super clean. A very lively guitar. Killer tone.

This one dates from early to mid 1963 and features the Les Paul logo on the headstock, a 'lightning bolt' compensated wraparound tailpiece and a fairly chunky tapered neck typical of 1963. At present it is fitted with a MojoAxe compensated for plain G wraparound for more accurate intonation but it comes also with the original wound G compensated tailpiece in the case.

Les Paul/SG Juniors are known to be particularly lively guitars and this one doesn’t disappoint. Acoustically this guitar is loud and resonant and with a focused mid range that gives it a naturally aggressive tone – just like all the best SG Juniors. Coupled with the powerful P-90 this Junior will sing and scream when cranked up, but is also warm and articulate and cleans up nicely when backed off.

This is a collectors grade example and the overall condition is 8.5-9/10. There are no breaks, repairs, touch up or overspray. There are some surface scratches on the back along with a few small nicks and light wear along the bottom edge where it has been played sitting down - see pictures. All solder joints are untouched and the original P-90 pick-up and electronics are as they should be.

Vintage Juniors in this kind of clean, original condition are getting harder to come by. So if you are looking for a good, original example then this one is well worth checking out. This one is competitively priced so probably won't hang around for long.

Comes with a 90's Gibson brown hard shell case with the 'shroud'.
