OVERVIEW

The 2018 Gibson SG Junior continues the legacy of the model as a straightforward, high-performance rock and roll machine. It strips away non-essential features to focus on pure tone and playability, making it a favorite among players in genres from punk to blues to garage rock.

• Body: The body is crafted from a solid slab of mahogany, which is the cornerstone of the classic SG soundrich, warm, and resonant with excellent sustain.
• Neck: The neck is also made of mahogany and features Gibson’s popular Slim Taper profile. This neck shape is known for its comfort and speed, allowing for easy navigation of the fretboard.
• Fretboard: The fretboard is typically made of rosewood with simple acrylic dot inlays, 22 frets, and a 12-inch radius, providing a classic feel and smooth playing surface.
• Pickup: The defining feature of the SG Junior is its single pickup configuration. This model is equipped with a single, powerful P-90 “dog-ear” pickup in the bridge position. The P-90 is celebrated for its raw, gritty tone that is fatter than a traditional single-coil but has more bite and clarity than a humbucker. It’s controlled by a simple setup of one volume and one tone knob.
• Hardware: The hardware is designed for simplicity and resonance.
• Bridge: It features a compensated wraparound bridge/tailpiece. This design maximizes string vibration transfer to the body, enhancing sustain.
• Tuners: It comes with Vintage Deluxe tuners with white buttons, which provide reliable tuning stability while adding to the guitar’s retro aesthetic.
• Finish: The standard finish for this model was a classic Vintage Cherry in a satin nitrocellulose lacquer. This thin finish allows the wood to resonate freely and is designed to age gracefully over time.

In summary, this Gibson SG Junior from 2018 is a no-nonsense, American-made instrument built for raw power and effortless playability. It’s a modern take on a historic model, delivering the iconic P-90 snarl that has powered countless classic recordings.
