GIBSON SG JUNIOR - A Christmas gift to myself

I've been looking at SG and Les Paul Jrs for a while now, and found this one on Reverb.com. The price was right so I bought it. Happy New Year!

I've just picked up a 2022 model, absolutely love it!

[@JohnRBooth]

I love those too. If you get tired of her let me know. Thanks

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

Will do! Don't hold your breath though. :)

[@NotLolo]

David - Great video. I love mine. Thanks!

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

Thanks for watching!

[@chasbodaniels1744]

Happy NGD David! She’s a beauty! I have one too, and have logged many hours playing in garage bands over the decades.
Yep, Leslie West (and his disciple Mick Ralphs of Mott the Hoople and Bad Co.) showed us how to rock these axes!

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

Many thanks. They are rock machines!

[@leelossi1257]

Beautiful!

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

Thank you!

[@appetiteforguitar]

That's a real beauty, great video! 👍

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

Thank you very much!

[@timsmithvideo]

Great choice! My favorite! Happy New Year!

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

Happy New Year to you as well!

[@adhaskym.a9536]

Simple and it works. Lovely.

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

Absolutely. :)

[@michaelaiello9525]

SAME! Would love a DC, but Gibson is greedy with those now. Sorry yours got away. I let go of a '66 Mustang and a '65 Newport before Reverb. Either would now enable that DC for me. All that said, the SG Junior feels like the modern option that I keep considering. Your video was well appreciated and has gone a long ways towards convincing me. Thanks

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

Glad you liked the video! If we only could have kept all our guitars, right? :)

Sounds great David, much better than I thought it would. Happy New Year to you and your family.

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

Happy New Year to you as well, David!

[@FrankRemley]

Sounds beautiful. You play very well. I’m envious.

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

Thank you very much!

[@esimms1889]

It’s a blues rock machine. That’s a whole lotta smoke on the water!

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

Yup. Great for slide too. I'll have to do a video.

[@JamieToddBand]

The player makes that sound great. I hope you take it out to a jam or gig sometime.

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

That's the plan!

[@MrDaigoRiki]

Hello, I’m from Japan. May I ask how much did you pay for your cook sg jr?

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

I paid $1200 plus shipping and tax. I think they are around $1600 new.

[@seanzinger]

Man it almost sounds like a Tele bridge pickup. I have almost bought this exact guitar a few times. Not sure I like the SG shape. I instead got one of the custom shop double cut Jrs and it’s not chimey or twangy like this one. There’s almost no top end. I was really surprised. Maybe my pickup is messed up.

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

I was surprised at how twangy the pickup was when I first plugged it in. I don't remember my vintage double cut sounding like this at all. Your custom shop DC might be closer to the originals. Maybe these SG Jr pickups (or just mine) are the ones that are messed up?!

[@EricClapton1945]

haha I bought a double cut jr as a christmas gift as well

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

Cherry red or another color?

[@danpritchett5617]

Why Gibson stopped making these I'll never know.

[@anotherheadlessdemo]

I'm pretty sure Gibson still makes these, at least they are still on their website.

[@danpritchett5617]

@@anotherheadlessdemo I've no doubt. But if you shop for a new one, no one has any.
