Lean, Mean, and Ready to Rock
The Gibson SG Junior '60s is a recreation of the classic axe that rocked the '60s. You get a comfortable, lightweight mahogany SG body and a fast-action mahogany neck with a baked maple fingerboard that gives you snap and attack similar to ebony - but with a more traditional appearance. A nitro finish enhances the look, feel and tone of this guitar. The single Dog Ear P-90 pickup at the bridge serves up high output and biting treble that's perfect for a wide range of music styles. Get yourself a lean, mean rock machine - the Gibson SG Junior '60s.
Gibson SG Junior '60s at a Glance:- P-90 single-coil
- Slim taper mahogany neck
- Nitrocellulose finish
The Gibson SG Junior '60s sports a single P-90 in the bridge position. Gibson's first successful single-coil pickup, the P-90 can be heard on countless classic recordings. With its biting treble and high output, the P-90 cleans up nicely when you roll back your guitar's volume pot. And when you hit your amp hard, the P-90 really wails. It's an amazingly versatile pickup (more so, arguably, than most humbuckers). Check out the Who's Live at Leeds to hear Pete Townsend coax a jaw-dropping range of tone out of his P-90 equipped SG.
Slim taper mahogany neckThe Gibson SG Junior '60s sports a comfortable, fast-action neck. Whether you're chording down low or soloing up high, the distinctive Slim taper always feels just right. With its slick baked maple fingerboard and iconic double-horned cutaway that gives you access to all 22 frets, this SG Special's a lean, mean rock machine.
Nitrocellulose finishThe Gibson SG Junior '60s wears a gorgeous nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Nitro finishes - standard back in the '60s and '70s - are significantly thinner than today's polyurethane finishes, allowing the guitar to "breathe." Nitro finishes not only look vintage-y wonderful; they also enhance the instrument's tonal qualities.
