Namvet Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 The new SG Jr. has arrived. This reminds me of the LP Jr I had as a teen (had the SG horns and Les Paul Jr. on the headstock). Much lighter than I expected, about half the weight of my Les Paul and Strat. Needed a little tuning out of the box but intonation and action are great. Messed with it for about 30 minutes last night and the baked maple fretboard seems to be in between my Les Paul (rosewood) and my Strat (maple) clarity wise. I'm pleased, which counts. Mandantory photos attached. http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii530/namvet1/018.jpg http://i1258.photobucket.com/albums/ii530/namvet1/017.jpg
Twiz Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 That's what I'm talking about! That's a sweet SG. Happy NGD man.
heymisterk Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Awesome. A slab of mahogany + a P-90 = Rock heaven.
Namvet Posted February 17, 2012 Author Posted February 17, 2012 Thnx all for the positive comments. I know this is considered a somewhat low end axe, which also matches my skills (low end), but this particular model has some nostalgic meaning for me as stated earlier from my teen years.
Riffster Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Sweet axe, what is the neck profile on those?
Namvet Posted February 17, 2012 Author Posted February 17, 2012 Sweet axe, what is the neck profile on those? I believe 60s if I remember correctly. Thickness feels just slightly thinner than the 50s neck on my LP
ShredAstaire Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I like her a lot. Please treat her well. :) :) :) And play the hell out of her!

Hey now, don't sell yourself short. That's a sweet guitar, and if you dig it, and it makes you happy, it doesn't matter if it's a $600 or $6,000 guitar. I mean, Leslie West played the Les Paul equivalent, and he did alright. Enjoy it!

Not really trying to sell myself short, I just tend to be a realist and stay within budgetary means. More expensive surely wouldn't make me play any better, just make the house boss question my justification!!
EVOL! Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Sweet axe. I love SG Juniors. The deeper, darker cherry reminds me of my SG Classic.
Namvet Posted February 17, 2012 Author Posted February 17, 2012 white socks! At least they're cotton. Better than black marks in the finish, after all it is NEW. Have a bottle of vodka to celebrate my thoughtfulness, I'll even help drink it!!
