Here for sale we have a Gibson 120th Anniversary SGJ in Vintage Sunburst finish. Built in the USA in 2014, the SGJ was designed as a stripped back SG released as a limited run in 2014, comprising a Mahogany body, 1 piece Maple set-in neck and Indian Rosewood fretboard. The SGJ boasts all of the key features of the traditional SG, with a Zamak Nashville Tune-O Matic Bridge and tailpiece, Kluson ‘Gibson Deluxe’ tuning machines and grain textured nitrocellulose finish. The pickups installed are a pair of Gibson ‘61 Zebra humbuckers, which are wired to a 3-way pickup selector and independent volume and tone controls.
The Maple neck is carved into a ‘50’s Rounded profile to give a really traditional feel whilst encouraging ergonomic thumb positioning for quick and easy navigation of the neck. The rounded profile fills the hand to make for a comfortable playing experience, aided further by the satin finish and smooth Rosewood fingerboard with a 12” radius provides a very smooth playing surface. The double cutaways provide excellent access to the upper frets, whilst the cryogenically treated medium jumbo fret wire provides stability, giving you plenty to work with when bending.
The ‘61 Zebra humbucking pickups provide a classic PAF sound, with vintage winding that offers a moderate output with plenty of character. The neck pickup is full and warm whilst remaining tight, and avoiding the ‘muddiness’ often associated with neck pickups. The bridge has a slightly hotter output which sounds great with light overdrive behind it, producing a biting tone which easily cuts through the mix for those rock rhythm sounds, all without sounding too harsh.The independent volume and tone controls make dialling in the perfect tone a breeze.
