The neck is straight, the frets are still crowned, and the truss rod functions. From what we can tell, the guitar has not suffered any additional wear beyond the aging at Murphy Lab. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gibson Custom Dealer Select 1963 SG Junior is a rare, off-the-price-list showpiece from the Gibson Custom Shop and a compelling choice for players drawn to high-energy garage punk, electric blues, and other rough-and-ready styles. Built around a solid slab of mahogany carved into the iconic SG shape, this solidbody electric guitar features a striking Silver Fox finish with a lightly aged nitrocellulose lacquer finish expertly crafted by the Murphy Lab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar's ’61 SG-shaped neck profile provides a comfortable playing experience, while the 22-fret rosewood fingerboard features classic cellulose dot inlays. Keeping with the straightforward design of the original SG Junior, this model features a single covered dog-ear P-90 pickup, delivering a distinctive voice with plenty of character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe P-90 has long occupied a unique place between traditional single-coils and humbuckers. Gibson's first successful single-coil pickup, the P-90 has appeared on countless classic recordings and is known for its biting treble and high output. Roll back the guitar's volume control and it cleans up beautifully, while pushing an amplifier brings out the pickup's signature grit, grind, and bark. Brighter, leaner, and less refined than a humbucker while still offering nearly as much output, the P-90 provides a tonal character all its own. Through a high-gain tube amplifier, it can deliver the aggressive sizzle and growl that make it particularly well suited to driven playing. Santana's fiery Woodstock performance and The Who's Live at Leeds album offer memorable examples of the P-90's historical sonic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hardware on this 1963 SG Junior is equally faithful to its vintage inspiration. A lightning bar wraparound bridge combines the bridge and tailpiece into a single minimalist design. Historically used on Les Paul Juniors, Specials, and other budget-friendly student models, the lightning bar allows the strings to feed through holes in the bridge and wrap back over the top, anchoring each string under tension. Its direct string-to-body contact is prized by many players for its tonal directness, while its vintage appearance makes it a natural fit for this SG Junior. This particular lightning bar has been optimized with individual string saddles to provide proper intonation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional period-correct details include white-button tuning machines, a white plastic pickguard, and black Top Hat knobs with silver foil inserts. Combined with the lightly aged Silver Fox finish and Murphy Lab craftsmanship, these appointments give the guitar an unmistakably vintage-inspired appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a Gibson Custom Dealer Select model, this 1963 SG Junior offers Gibson enthusiasts a rare opportunity to own a highly specialized interpretation of a classic SG Junior, combining a single P-90, period-inspired construction and appointments, and the distinctive character of a Murphy Lab-aged instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGibson Custom Shop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDealer Select\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1963 SG Junior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilver Fox Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMurphy Lab: Light Aging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 lbs 8 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahogany Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e61 SG Neck Profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahogany Neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosewood Fingerboard - Bound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12\" Fingerboard Radius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24.75\" Scale Length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eP90 Bridge Pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaster Volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaster Tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightning Bar Bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Hardshell Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertificate of Authenticity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53423203844393,"sku":"501713","price":4799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0013\/6111\/7231\/files\/DSC7755_31e9e994-e5e1-4caa-ad0a-f28b63eedda0.jpg?v=1787950635","url":"https:\/\/musicgalleryinc.com\/products\/used-gibson-custom-sg-junior-63-murphy-lab-light-aged-in-silver-fox-501713","provider":"The Music Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
