The SGJ14 delivers contemporary SG Standard-style tone and playability at an unprecedented price. To celebrate the 120th Anniversary of the world's most respected guitar maker, Gibson USA has unveiled an entire lineup that represents several of the greatest values ever offered in hand-made American electric guitars. The SGJ14 is a prime example: backed by a wealth of innovation and experience, it's a genuine Gibson at every turn, at a lower price than you ever thought possible.

Between its genuine Gibson humbucking pickups, classic tonewoods, a fast and comfortable neck profile, and uncompromising Gibson construction quality, the SGJ14 nails every expectation from a great Gibson electric guitar.

The raw and ready SGJ14 derives its timeless Les Paul-style tone from Gibson's '61 Zebra humbucking pickups, crafted in the image of the hallowed original PAF humbuckers, but updated for the power and versatility required by today's music. Further 2014 120th Anniversary additions include larger no-slip strap buttons, black Max Grip Speed Knobs, a GraphTech nut, long-life proprietary coated guitar strings, cryogenic treated fret wire for longer life and corrosion resistance, a full PLEK setup, and a 120th Anniversary logo inlay at the 12th fret. Put it all together with the legendary Gibson playability, and the SGJ14 is ready to rock, at a truly breathtaking price.

Body and Neck

The SGJ14 is crafted in the image of the original SG Standard, with an asymmetrical double-cutaway body read more for excellent upper-fret access. It's made from solid mahogany, with a glued-in maple neck with an SG slim profile. The rosewood fingerboard is topped with a GraphTech nut, and carries 24 cryogenic-treated frets for long life and corrosion resistance, with dot inlays and a commemorative 120th Anniversary inlay at the 12th fret.

Pickups and Electronics

The guitar carries a pair of Gibson's '61 Zebra humbucking pickups in the neck and bridge position. These pickups are built with the power to rock, excelling in heavy crunch and wailing lead tones, yet the clean up beautifully for mellower moments, adapting themselves to your every need. They are wired through the traditional complement of independent volume and tone controls, and a three-way selector switch.

Hardware

Following the stripped-down ethos of the SGJ14, the guitar carries no pickguard and the minimum of ready-to-rock hardware. A satin chrome Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece anchor it all down for outstanding resonance and sustain, while retro tulip-button tuners retain a vintage look, and enlarged strap buttons keep your guitar secure throughout the set.

Case and Coverage

The SGJ14 comes protected in a Gibson gig bag, includes a truss-rod wrench and owner's manual, and is covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty and Gibson's 24/7/365 Customer Service.

I purchased the Satin Fireburst. I wasn't sure what to expect at this price point. I was blown away by how good the neck felt, add it didn't hurt my arthritic hands. I thought surely they went cheap on the pickups. The pickups are great both clean and dirty. The finish is absolutely stunning with no blemishes. The first needed very little setup out if the box. The only thing I did was change the Cleartone 9s to DR Pure Blues 10's which changed the tone and feel from wow to jaw dropping! The gig bag is really nice too! This guitar is a lot of bang for the buck!
