jimmiJAMM Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 She's a little beauty but to be honest, I really don't know much about these "Juniors." What's the point? Are they for kids? Haha. Merely cheaper models ie; Fender Squier? How do they compare to their big brothers? http://cgi.ebay.com/GIBSON-SG-JR-JUNIOR-SPECIAL-RED-GUITAR-W-CASE_W0QQitemZ320423587468QQcategoryZ33040QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3907.m8QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DMW%26itu%3DUCC%26otn%3D12%26po%3DLCA%26ps%3D4#ht_500wt_1182 Care to discuss, enlighten and/or pontificate ad nauseam?

Dub-T-123 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 That looks really sweet to me. I prefer the SG junior with the other pickguard style but I love both. And that case is so cool. I want one of those pretty bad. If I had the money I'd probly buy it. I've been looking for a more simple SG to beat around. My standard is getting wrecked.

pohatu771 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 It's a Les Paul Junior. But an SG. "Junior" doesn't in any way mean "inferior" or "for children," it's just a different model. They've been making the SG Junior model since 1961... originally it had a dogear P-90 and small pickguard, but this guitar is nearly identical to that one. When the Les Paul model was expanded on, you had the following: Les Paul - two P-90s, carved top Les Paul Special - two P-90s, flat top Les Paul Junior - one P-90, flat top. Eventually the humbucker was invented, and the Les Paul was switched over to that pickup. In 1961 when it was relpaced by the SG body, you had the Les Paul/SG Standard, two humbuckers Les Paul/SG Special, two P-90s Les Paul/SG Junior, one P-90. The SG Junior has never been quite as popular as the Les Paul Junior, but it has its place. I'm quite fond of the dogear version. They began using the large pickguard and soapbar P-90 in the late 60s as a cost-cutting measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
