Super close-out deal, modded
First the SGJ is not an "SG Junior," it's just another of Gibson's recent dopey and confusing model names.
Like Juniors, the SGJ (and LPJ for Pauls) are stripped-down models. However, "Junior" traditionally means P-90s, and the SGJ (and LPJ) had humbuckers. The buckers in the SGJ 2013 were Gibson 490s, but with a goofy black plastic cover that made them look like EMGs.
SGJs also didn't have a pickguard.
So I modded mine by adding a pickguard. I also put Bobbin Toppers on the black plastic pickup covers, which makes them look like open-coil pickups with white bobbins, to match the guitar's worn white finish.
Speaking of which, the "worn white" finish is cheap and ugly, close up. Looks ok when not close up, or under stage lights. I may try some white rubbing compound on it to buff it up a bit.
