A Little Bit Country, a Little Bit Rock 'n' Roll

Gibson equipped the Music City Jr. with B-Bender solidbody electric guitar with the Joe Glaser B-Bender system to give you instant access to pedal-steel-style guitar tones. Long story short, the Music City Jr. with B-Bender lets you bend your B-string up a full step just by pulling on the neck while you're wearing a guitar strap. You get an instant country sound, backed up by the sweet tone of dual P-90 humbuckers (with coil tapping) that will make your guitar amplifier sing. For undeniable Nashville vibe, just strap on the Gibson Music City Jr. with B-Bender solidbody electric guitar.

Gibson Music City Jr. with B-Bender Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Unbeatable country twang from the adjustable B-/G-Bender system
  • Incredible tonal range from split-coil P-90 Soapbar pickups
  • '60s SlimTaper neck profile plays fast and smooth
Unbeatable country twang from the adjustable B-/G-Bender system

Loaded with the Joe Glaser B-Bender system, the Music City Jr. with B-Bender is perfect for re-creating the smooth bends of a pedal steel guitar in a solidbody instrument. Even better, the adjustable bridge lets you choose between B-bending and G-bending, depending on your style and tastes. If you're interested in having Sweetwater's expert guitar techs set up your Music City Jr. with B-Bender for G-bending before we send it to you, just give your Sales Engineer a call!

Incredible tonal range from split-coil P-90 Soapbar pickups

The Gibson Music City Jr. with B-Bender is fitted with two split-coil P-90 Soapbar humbucking pickups, with push/pull coil taps on the volume knobs to switch between humbucking and single-coil operation. 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, perfect for rock, country, blues, or virtually any genre.

'60s SlimTaper neck profile plays fast and smooth

This Music City Jr. with B-Bender sports a comfortable, fast-action neck with a '60s SlimTaper profile. Early Gibson guitars had huge, often ungainly necks. By 1960, Gibson had gradually carved down this profile into what became their SlimTaper neck. As your fingers moved down this neck, the precisely controlled width-to-thickness ratio of the Music City Jr. with B-Bender's SlimTaper neck provides you with a consistent, fast, and comfortable feel. It's no wonder many life-long guitar players consider the SlimTaper Gibson's finest neck.

Gibson Music City Jr. with B-Bender Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:
  • Classic Les Paul design with built-in Joe Glaser B-Bender system
  • Adjustable bridge lets you choose between B-string bending and G-string bending
  • B-Bender system is attached to your strap pin, just pull down on the neck while wearing a strap to bend
  • Swamp ash body, maple neck and fretboard combine to give you articulate, spanky tones
  • Split-coil P-90 Soapbar humbucking pickups with coil-tapping gives you a wide range of tones
  • Hard case included
Twang it up, with the Gibson Music City Jr. with B-Bender!
