This cane up on Facebook marketplace when I wasn’t expecting it. I’ve always loved the look of early Polaris White hardtail SG Juniors and have played enough to know they play and sound great too, but was put off by the steeply rising prices ($18k at times of writing!).
When the seller mentioned, almost apologised, for the big neck, I knew had to have it. It was very fairly priced but the accompanying Gear4Music croc case was badly damaged during shipping. It took the brunt of the impact, the only damage to the guitar being a single chip on the top corner of the headstock which could be reattached invisibly.
Good friend and luthier Tony Berrington kindly also did an amazing repair job on the case so that more considerable damage is all but invisible too.
This guitar is a scrapper – despite its relative modesty in my collection, it plays and sounds great where it goes. And it’s in near mint shape and looks fantastic, a kind of putty colour. Everything is stock except the Faber wraparound bridge which currently rests on the non-matching Tokai studs until matching Fabers arrive.
