Today, YUNGBLUD and Epiphone have revealed the “god save me, but don’t drown me out” artist’s limited-edition debut signature guitar, the YUNGBLUD SG Junior.
“Guitars and rock music have always been a fundamental part of my life,” YUNGBLUD shares in a press release. “Literally my education. I grew up on the counter of a guitar shop, and I’ve been dusting them since I was three years old. The reason why I play a White ‘64 SG Junior is because, growing up, musicians who were important in my life were Angus Young and Billie Joe Armstrong. I was lucky because I found a guitar that represented both parts of my inspiration and yet has been famously played by no one but me. This SG Junior is entirely my own, and it already looks fucking iconic.”

He continues, “Rock music only survives if we keep evolving the genre, playing it our own way, and passing along the fuckin’ baton. To play for my fan base, hand them my guitars, and talk to them about wanting to start bands is the sickest shit ever!! If I play even the tiniest part in their journey, I’m fuckin’ honored. Rock isn’t dead; it’s just different, pass it on.”
The YUNGBLUD SG Junior, which comes in classic white, features a sleek mahogany body and a glued-in mahogany neck with a SlimTaper™ C profile. The limited-edition guitar also has a laurel fretboard with 22 medium jumbo frets. It also comes with an Epiphone hardshell case featuring YUNGBLUD’s signature hot pink interior and a YUNGBLUD die-cut bumper sticker. The guitar is being sold for $599, and quantities are extremely limited. Check out the official YUNGBLUD release video and his story as a budding musician below.
