(ARCHIVE) Gibson SG Junior Black 2011
- Description
- Guitarchives
Gibson SG Junior, gloss ebony finish, made in USA 2011. This oozes equal parts sophistication and punk attitude, it's a black-tie-fist-fight in guitar form. The SG Junior is an understated and underrated 60s classic, and this is a great take on the form. The body is super light and very resonant, it's amazing to feel the notes coming to life to readily and also makes for a very friendly stage guitar. The neck is moderate; neither chunky nor slim, it feels 'right' for the guitar and is conducive to all sorts of aggressive rhythm playing. The tone is incredibly appealing; you get heaps of attack and bite, balanced with the warm woodiness and openness typical of the simple P90-into-mahogany setup... it's really a brilliant sounding guitar with a lot to offer. Certified cool guitar.
