Comments	I had a lot of fun with this Gibson Guitars SGJ 2014 120th Anniversary model. Took it off the wall, plugged it straight into one of my current favourite amps – a Vox AC15 – and it sounded great. With subtle differences from the traditional SG – no binding, satin finishes, maple neck – the SGJ delivers all the tone and power of the SG. The maple neck adds a bit of clarity and top end ring. And with a price just under $500, it’s an unbeatable deal. If you need an SG — and let’s be honest, who doesn’t? — this is an easy decision. For 2014, the SGJ model features a ‘120th Anniversary’ banner inlay at the 12th fret. Visit the Gibson Guitar pages for the SGJ here
