Jan 21, 2022 · On the other hand, SGs are lighter and easier to handle. Great for long gigs. The SG can also be a bit brighter and chimey-er as well. My SG is a Special configuration with Firebird pups and Bigsby, rather than a single P-90 Junior-style with a wrap-tail. As such my LP Jr. and SG occupy different places in my spectrum of guitars.

Sep 22, 2020 · Try the new Gibson Luckas Nelson Les Paul Jr., that is based off of his original 1956. I just got one a few weeks ago and I can not tell the difference from the new one and my original 1957 Les Paul Jr. The price on these guitars are very reasonable. Grab one while you can, because it is a limited edition model.

Nov 5, 2017 · So Gibson is kinda doing the right thing with it's lower line guitars. They came out with the Jr. with a fat neck and then I see the SJ Jr. for $1299 as well. Looks like good quality stuff at a decent price. This SG Jr. has me looking at it. Cool single P90 in a nice Mahogany body...

Jun 25, 2018 · No personal experience with the SG Jr. but I have a Les Paul Jr. which is the same basic formula of awesomeness: all mahogany, P-90, vol/tone. Best tone machine ever, IMO. I'm guessing the SG Jr. might weigh a little less and the neck profile might be a little different but I'll let others chime in on that.

Jul 23, 2019 · Gibson put out the SG 1 & SG X models with a stock humbucker & push pull knob for splitting. They put out an LP Jr with a splittable 'bucker as well but I've never played any of them myself. I can't remember the pup model Gibson used but I …

Nov 5, 2017 · On the other hand, Standards are like, $1529 now. And they squirt out a lot of Standards each year. Plus, in the 30 years I've been playing guitar and wanting one of these (based on an early Mike Oldfield obsession), this is the first time Gibson has made an SG Jr with all the things I want that isn't Custom Shop.

Nov 6, 2023 · Our Detroit GC always has cool gear coming through. Yesterday I played a used SG Jr. through a Limited Edition Blues Jr. covered in faux Crocodile (Alligator?). 2 Juniors and they were great! ( I have a Blues Jr. already, and I'm not ready to buy another guitar). But the SG Jr. sounded great even though it desperately needed a setup.

Oct 16, 2012 · Anyone notice that the Gibson SG Jr. reissues are on sale now at MF and Zzounds for $699.95? I couldn't resist at that price - got Sweetwater to do a price-match on a nice looking one (and only a hair over 5lbs! :bonk):

Nov 28, 2015 · I had a custom shop SG that had mojo, tone and felt great playing, but I could not get chords played between frets 4-9 to play in tune. Even a basic 4 note A7 at the 5th fret sounded sour when open string cowboy chords were perfectly in tune and intonated.

May 6, 2024 · The Gary Clark model has a thinner profile neck, like the normal shouldery sg. Its also twice the price of a used classic in todays market, so that’s a big factor too. Ima still stand by my statement that the sg classic 99-2010 is one of the best values in guitars.
