Some guitars have personality. This one has presence — and this 2014 Gibson SGJ 120th Anniversary Edition in Cherry is one of those instruments that immediately feels like something special.
The moment you pick it up, the finish jumps out at you. It’s a far more vibrant cherry than the typical SG shade — rich, saturated, and almost glowing against the grain of the mahogany. It has that “why don’t more SGs look like this?” kind of effect.
This one is in near mint condition, which is almost unheard of for an SGJ. The satin still looks fresh, the top is clean, and there’s virtually no play wear to speak of. You can tell it lived an easy, careful life — the kind of guitar someone owned because they appreciated it, not because they were trying to beat it up on stage.
Then there’s the detail that sets it apart from most SGJs:
the 120th Anniversary commemorative inlay at the 12th fret.
It’s subtle, classy, and gives this model a touch of uniqueness that collectors and enthusiasts love. It turns a great guitar into a little piece of Gibson history.
Playability-wise, this one is shockingly good.
The neck is super fast, smooth, and incredibly easy to navigate. It has that addictive satin Gibson feel that lets your hand float instead of fight. Paired with the SG’s naturally light and resonant body, you get an instrument that feels effortless — the kind of guitar you don’t want to put down once you start.
Tonally, it delivers exactly what you’d want from a lively mahogany SG: punchy mids, tight lows, and that unmistakable Gibson bark when you dig in. It’s responsive, balanced, and way more musical than its price tier suggests.
It comes with a hard shell case and the original case candy, making it even more of a score for someone who wants an SGJ that’s not only clean but complete.
If you’re looking for an SG that stands out — visually, historically, and in how shockingly good it feels — this 120th Anniversary SGJ is absolutely the one to grab.
Like all my guitars, this one’s been cared for and dialed in—no guesswork, no surprises, just a great instrument that’s ready to play. I personally inspect and test every guitar before it ships, making sure it’s in the exact condition I’d want to receive myself. These guitars come from me, not a shop—each one gets the kind of attention and care only a real guitar lover gives. Ships fast and fully insured.
