A stripped-down signature model for the new breed of guitarists
A longtime SG™ Junior fan, YUNGBLUD has collaborated with Epiphone on his first signature model. The YUNGBLUD SG Junior is a limited-edition model designed to reflect its namesake’s bold and rebellious spirit—sleek, stripped-down simplicity, and ready to rock on every stage.
Explaining his affinity for the SG Junior, YUNGBLUD says, “Guitars and rock music have always been a fundamental part of my life, literally, my education: I grew up on the counter of a guitar shop. 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, characters that 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 yet has been famously played by no one but me. This guitar is entirely my own, and it already looks fuckin’ iconic.”

With 3.5 million Instagram followers, 4.5 million TikTok followers, and over three billion total Spotify streams, YUNGBLUD’s raw energy, eclectic musical output, and socially conscious activism have struck a chord with a whole generation of young music fans. And he’s keen that his signature guitar empowers some of those fans to create music of their own.
“Rock music only survives if we keep evolving the genre, playing it our own way and passing along the fuckin’ baton,” YUNGBLUD says. “To play for my fanbase, hand them my guitars, and talk them all 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.”
