Description
The Gibson Custom Shop 1963 SG Junior in Light Aged Epiphone Silver Fox finish is a purebred rock 'n' roll machine that speaks directly to purists, players, and collectors alike. Whether you're a seasoned guitarist seeking the raw honesty of a vintage-style instrument or a fan of stripped-down tone with attitude, this SG Junior delivers an experience that's both nostalgic and inspiring. Based on the 1963 iteration of the legendary SG Junior, this Custom Shop reissue nails the vibe and feel of the original, right down to its gutsy voice and workhorse aesthetic.
Crafted from solid mahogany with a lightweight, resonant body and no binding to distract from its clean lines, this SG channels decades of sonic heritage. The single P-90 Dog Ear pickup is the heart of the tone; articulate, punchy, and loaded with grit, it sings with midrange growl and clarity that's perfect for punk, garage rock, blues, and beyond. Add in hand-wired electronics with vintage taper pots and real Bumblebee capacitors, and you've got a signal chain that's pure, vintage-correct muscle. It's a no-frills formula that delivers big-time tone both on stage and in the studio.
Its '61 SG neck profile is slim and fast, feeling immediately comfortable with just enough substance to dig into. The Indian rosewood fingerboard and reissue frets make for a smooth, inviting playing surface, while the nylon nut and Kluson strip tuners ensure rock-solid tuning stability. The Lightning Bar wraparound bridge keeps intonation honest and sustain flowing, giving you simple hardware that performs far beyond expectations.
Visually, this one's a standout; the Epiphone Silver Fox finish is rare and striking, evoking a moody elegance that pairs beautifully with the light-aged nickel hardware. The subtle checking and patina add just the right touch of vintage character without going over the top- this is a guitar that looks like it has stories to tell.
From the vintage-accurate build to the no-nonsense vibe, the Gibson Custom Shop SG Junior is a killer example of how simplicity can be seriously powerful. At Cream City Music, we love guitars that invite you to turn it up and lose yourself in the music-and this SG Junior does exactly that. It's an unapologetic tone machine that rewards every ounce of energy you throw its way.
