The Gibson SG Junior is a solid-bodied electric guitar manufactured by Gibson from the early 1960s to the early 1970s. Like its earlier sister, the Gibson Les Paul Junior, it had been created for sale at a lower price. It is known for its single P-90 treble pickup, and the single piece 'wrap-around' bridge instead of the two-piece tune-o-matic bridge and tails-stop arrangement found on the SG Standard. From 1961 to 1963, it was branded with the " Les Paul Junior" name. In 1963, "Les Paul" was removed from the headstock and it was officially called the SG Junior. From 1966 to 1971, it had a generic SG pickguard with a soapbar P90 rather than the original dog-ear. It was discontinued in 1971.
As a successor model, SG 100 was released in the late-1971 (with a large maple body, triangular pickguard, flat metal control plate, a black plastic-molded single-coil pickup with a flat metal-ring, and tune-o-matic installed through a baseplate/tailpiece), then SG I replaced it in the late-1972 (with a humbucker and stoptail bridge), but discontinued in 1974. [1]
The late 1960s version was re-issued by Gibson between 1999 and 2001. Between 2011 and 2015 Gibson rereleased a Junior which more closely resembled its early 1960s incarnation. [2]
