Description
Initially introduced as a student model in the '60s, the SG Junior has captured the hearts of countless legendary performers over the years. With its single snarling P-90 pickup and wicked-fast SlimTaper neck, this axe is perfect for players seeking a lean, mean, rock 'n' roll machine.
The SG Junior features a lightweight mahogany body that produces a rich, resonant tone with deep lows and punchy mids. Players will love its sleek SlimTaper neck that plays with a quick response and makes riffing away for hours incredibly fun. It also sports a silky-smooth rosewood fingerboard and 22 Medium Jumbo frets for optimal shreddin'.
Powering this beast is a single P-90 pickup in the bridge position that pumps out a special kind of sizzle. This pickup has a high output and a biting treble, giving it plenty of edge for lead lines and solos. If you're looking for more aggression, just run the SG Junior through a high-gain tube amp and your favorite fuzz effect, and it'll growl, bark, and wail like nothing you've heard before. Dial the volume back, though, and you'll find that it projects a surprisingly sweet and articulate tone. Simply put, this P-90 sounds great no matter what you do with it.
Complete with a compensated wraparound bridge and a gorgeous Vintage Cherry finish, the Gibson SG Junior is perfect for musicians seeking a top-notch guitar that's built to rock.
