Think again.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Brian Ray ’62 SG Junior builds on the popularity of Brian’s ‘63 SG Standard model with exciting design elements, versatile features and analog innovations. It has become Brian’s guitar of choice on recent tours with Sir Paul McCartney, playing on the world’s biggest stages. And because of the variety of stage conditions, Brian wanted to make sure this SG Junior offered a lot more than meets the eye. A passive “induction coil” circuit, engaged with a tap of the push-push knob, hides under the pickguard to reduce RF interference and high-gain noise while preserving the tone of the powerful P-90 pickup. The clever convertible bridge design gives players the choice between a tune-o-matic ABR-1, a wrap-tail bridge, and\/or a Vibrola tremolo – all available in the time it takes to change strings. The solid mahogany body is also slightly thicker than a normal SG, which Brian says “offers more low and mid-range punch to the overall tone of the guitar up and down the neck.” The finishing touches include sleek, pearlescent White Fox paint, a custom trapezoid inlay pattern and an ebony block tailpiece as seen on some original 1962 SG models. It’s easily the most versatile and distinctive SG Junior ever created, and for Brian it’s also reliable and just plain cool.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBrian Ray '62 SG Junior Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e***Photos used are of the guitar you will receive.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight: 6.8 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial # BR1078\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBody\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Shape: \u003c\/b\u003eSG\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Material: \u003c\/b\u003eSolid Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003eFingerboard 1-Ply Cream\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight Relief: \u003c\/b\u003eNone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish: \u003c\/b\u003eGloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNeck\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial: \u003c\/b\u003eSolid Mahogany, Long Tenon, Hide Glue Fit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eProfile: \u003c\/b\u003eCustom 1962 Slim Taper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eScale Length: \u003c\/b\u003e24.75\" \/ 628.65mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Material: \u003c\/b\u003eIndian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Radius: \u003c\/b\u003e12\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber Of Frets: \u003c\/b\u003e22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrets: \u003c\/b\u003eDunlop 6100 Jumbo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut Material: \u003c\/b\u003eNylon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut Width: \u003c\/b\u003e1.69\" \/ 42.85mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEnd of Board Width: \u003c\/b\u003e2.24\" \/ 56.89mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInlays: \u003c\/b\u003eCustom Celluloid Trapezoid\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHardware\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish: \u003c\/b\u003eNickel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuner Plating: \u003c\/b\u003eNickel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge: \u003c\/b\u003eABR-1 with convertible options\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSaddle Material: \u003c\/b\u003eNickel-plated Brass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTailpiece: \u003c\/b\u003eMaestro Short Vibrola\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickguard: \u003c\/b\u003e3-Ply Black\/White\/Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod: \u003c\/b\u003e2-way Adjustable\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod Cover: \u003c\/b\u003eCustom Brian Ray Hot-stamped\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eControl Knobs: \u003c\/b\u003eBlack Top Hats w\/ Silver Inserts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eControl Covers: \u003c\/b\u003eBlack\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStrap Buttons: \u003c\/b\u003eAluminum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Covers: \u003c\/b\u003eBlack Dog-Ear P-90\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eElectronics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Pickup: \u003c\/b\u003eCustom Dog-Ear P90 w\/ Switchable Induction Coil Circuit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eControls: \u003c\/b\u003e1 Volume, 1 Tone with Push\/Push for Induction Coil Circuit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOutput Jack: \u003c\/b\u003eSwitchcraft\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMiscellaneous\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase: \u003c\/b\u003eCustom Shop Black with Yellow Lining\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAccessories: \u003c\/b\u003eBrian Ray Certificate of Authenticity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/G9EQvOkL278\" height=\"200\" width=\"380\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31974270795818,"sku":"00GIB036","price":4199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/products\/2-DSCF4785.jpg?v=1633113161"},{"product_id":"pre-owned-gibson-custom-shop-brian-ray-63-sg-black-dog-hair-guitar-with-ohsc","title":"Pre Owned Gibson Custom Shop Brian Ray '63 SG Silver Fox With OHSC","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" alt=\"Used And Vintage Electric Guitars\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/VINTAGE-electric-guitars_600x600.png?v=1662574747\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/VINTAGE-electric-guitars_600x600.png?v=1662574747\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe just got in an amazing piece - a Gibson Custom Shop Brian Ray '63 SG!

Stephen Stern crafted the body and top of this one from solid Korina, using a single-piece blank for the neck. The fingerboard features exquisite Brazilian rosewood.  All of the wood was responsibly and ethically sourced to guarantee superior quality and authenticity.  The white binding frames the body perfectly, and wood grain shows nicely through the Natural finish.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThroBak SLE-101 pickups provide a totally different tone compared to most Gretsch guitars, as they are PAF style humbuckers.  This is the set that put ThroBak on the map - you get the complex tone and articulate clarity found in the best PAF pickups from the 50's.  According to ThroBak, A2 vintage clone sand cast magnets, custom milled Michigan hard maple wood spacer, vintage correct two conductor wire and a threaded baseplate complete the picture making these the best humbucker pickups with vintage specs.  We plugged the guitar, and had to agree.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOther

prolific musician Brian Ray, celebrated solo artist, guitarist for Paul McCartney, musical director for Etta James, and lead vocalist\/guitarist of the Bayonets.  He recently decided to part with a few select pieces - Truetone Music is quite proud to have partnered with him to bring them to the market for the first time,  With the guitar comes a signed Certificate of Authenticity.  And, by the way - this wasn't just a guitar he bought, strummed once and put it away.  It was actually used to record tracks on his new

last of his guitars at the tail end of a legendary career.  Not only is it an amazing playing and visually stunning guitar, but it's also truly collectible.  Very few were made, and there's only one

With the Falcon and a few other models, Gibson was ahead of Fender in bringing an amplifier with reverb on the market. In addition, the Falcon also had tremolo and many vintage amp enthusiasts say the Gibson tremolo on the GA-19RVT is “what an amp tremolo should sound like”.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eThis particular one was owned and used by the extremely prolific musician Brian Ray, celebrated solo artist, guitarist for Paul McCartney, musical director for Etta James, and lead vocalist\/guitarist of the Bayonets.  He recently decided to part with a few select pieces - Truetone Music is quite proud to have partnered with him to bring them to the market for the first time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eThe Falcon got 14 watts out of two 6V6 tubes (the same tubes used in the comparable Fender Deluxe), and had a Jensen 12\" speaker. The pre-amp was powered by three 6EU7 tubes, and a 7199 for the reverb circuit. It also has a 5V3GT rectifier tube in the V7 socket. Unlike Fender's later reverb amps (such as the Princeton Reverb), the Falcon had a fairly unusual placement of the reverb circuit: rather than being placed after the pre-amp section and having the wet signal mixed with the dry, the Falcon's reverb circuit taps the signal before the volume and tone control, and mixes it with the dry signal via independent volume controls. In addition, the Falcon had a separate monitor output at line level, to connect the amp to a separate \"Regular Amplifier\" (the Falcon being referred to in the brochures as \"Reverb Amplifier\") and create a stereo effect.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eThe Falcon's sound is described as \"full, rich\" and \"sweet-sounding\", with a \"raw, gnarly, compressed tone\" at higher volumes. It is relatively rare: according to Gibson's records 204 were sold in 1961; the next year, the Crestline design was introduced, involving a redesign of the control panel as well as the circuit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eThe amp is a great condition, especially considering it's age.  Included is a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Brian Ray, as well as the original paperwork.  It's quite the find!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial Number: 131105\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46951352500467,"sku":"85GIB002","price":3499.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/1-Img23274.jpg?v=1748039214"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.mom\/collections\/the-brian-ray-collection.oembed","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
