Gibson 1964 SG Junior in Cherry, (Used)

The Gibson 1964 SG Junior in Cherry finish represents one of the most iconic stripped-down designs of the era. Built with a solid mahogany body and a set mahogany neck, it offers excellent resonance and light weight, contributing to its unmistakable midrange punch and comfort. The thin double-cut body and bevels are classic SG, finished in that rich Cherry nitrocellulose lacquer that’s aged beautifully on vintage examples.

This model comes equipped with a single dogear P-90 in the bridge position, controlled by a single volume and tone knob. Despite the minimal electronics, the guitar delivers a surprisingly broad tonal palette—from snarling overdrive to clean, biting rhythm tones. The wraparound bridge adds to the directness of the sound and enhances sustain and simplicity.

A rosewood fretboard with dot inlays and a slim ’60s neck profile contribute to the fast, comfortable feel. This SG Junior is about raw tone and no-frills attitude, making it a go-to for garage rock, punk, and vintage blues players. It’s a pure player’s instrument, prized for its feel, simplicity, and honest tone.
