Full Description
View Full DescriptionRemaining the cornerstone of SG Guitars, the SGJ body is crafted from solid mahongany in a lightweight, offset double-cutaway style. Featuring the distinctive 'horns' that make the SG a true icon, and bevelled edges for playing comfort.
A solid mahogany neck is glued to the body and carved to a comfortably fast rounded '50s neck profile, topped off with a headstock with silkscreened gold Gibson logo design.
The warm, rich and responsive tone from Rosewood makes it the perfect fingerboard material. Offering clear and tight bass projection without overshadowing sparkling midrange or trebles, the 24 medium-jumbo frets are adorned with pearloid dot inlays. There's no pickguard or binding to clutter the stripped-down look of the SGJ.
The White Low Gloss finish gives the SG Junior a sharp appearance, bringing the SGs of the past up to date. The nitrocellulose lacquer produces a finish that breathes with the guitar and enhances natural resonance, encouraging a purer tone.
Taking its firepower from a pair of Modern Classics humbucking pickups, the 490R and 490T, the SGJ has an acclaimed playability. The vintage pickup formula includes two Alnico II magnets per pickup and standard-wound coils which produce plenty of warmth, clarity, scorch and sizzle.
Traditional wiring of an independent volume and tone control per pickup plus a three-way pickup selector provide a broad range of sonic variations. Add to the mix a classic Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stopbar tailpiece and a set of vintage-style tuners and you have a set of hardware that partners up for solid sustain, precision tuning and spare none of the tone.
The SG Junior is the fastest road to a genuine Les Paul, putting a legend in your hands with far less load on your pocket.
