Gibson SG-TV

Gibson · electric guitar

The Gibson SG-TV (Les Paul Junior/Special TV-style) is a lightweight solidbody with a single P-90 and a bright TV-yellow finish. Jake E. Lee used a 1961 example on the first Badlands album. The single P-90 gives a raw, punchy, midrange-rich tone with bite and clarity, excellent for blues-rock and hard-rock rhythm and lead, though it is too fragile for heavy touring.
