YUNGBLUD has teamed up with Epiphone to launch his first ever signature guitar, the YUNGBLUD SG Junior.
Released as a limited-edition run, the YUNGBLUD SG Junior has a mahogany body and neck and comes in a hardshell case with a hot pink interior.
YUNGBLUD has shared more about the new instrument in an interview with Epiphone, which you can watch below.
Discussing the collaboration with Epiphone, and the release of his first signature guitar, YUNGBLUD has also shared:
“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, 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.
“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 announcement comes ahead of the inaugural BLUDFEST, taking place at Milton Keynes Bowl on August 11.
Featuring Lil Yachty, Soft Play, The Damned and more, YUNGBLUD will also be headlining the festival.
