mimmo Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Hi guys,I have just bought a second hand sg junior dating from 2000, the batwing pickguard model. One guy in another forum told me that the fingerboard can be made of richlite, I am mostly a telecaster guy so I am not expert on gibson stuff. Can someone help me clarifying this aspect? Here is the link for some pics http://www.everythingsg.com/threads/2000-sg-junior-info-needed.29594/ Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Based upon that photo from the other web forum, I would say that you have an ebony fingerboard on your second generation SG Junior. Richlite has a much smoother appearance, and I can confirm that Gibson used ebony on a lot of 2000 models including my Les Paul Copper Top. The more recent (3rd generation) SG Junior models have a baked maple fingerboard which is quite dark, but those were pushed out in 2012 and beyond, not back in 2000. Not that there's anything wrong with Richlite fingerboards. I have nothing against them whatsoever, but it looks like you have ebony there. I hope this helps. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimmo Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Thanks so much for your reply! It is exactly what I thought, just was asking for confirmation. I am not a gibson expert...:-) Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
