TheGibson SG Junior is a solid-bodiedelectric guitar manufactured byGibson from the early 1960s to the early 1970s. Like its earlier sister, theGibson Les Paul Junior, it had been created for sale at a lower price. It is known for its singleP-90 treble pickup, and the single piece 'wrap-around' bridge instead of the two-piecetune-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 theheadstock and it was officially called theSG 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.
