I've been lurking in this group for a couple of weeks, I came across it while researching pickguards for my SGJ.
I'll try to keep this brief, my son is now learning how to play guitar (no pressure, he's gotta love it) and as a result, after hanging up the guitars and gigging for at least the past 15 years, it's inspired me to pick up and am now playing everyday rebuidling the chops. So I go into a local guitar shop, pick up various guitars and was frankly blown away by the SGJ, acoustically it sounded fantastic, plugged into an Vox AC4TV this is one angry guitar! I purchased it on the spot. Unfortunately, not sure if it's due to to my playing style or just shoddy workmanship, the finish right below the high E is tearing up. I did contact customer support, but it would be costly to have them evaluate it as there are no authorized Gibson repair shops around town.
So I decided to go the pickguard route and had an all black one custom made, however, before I start drilling holes I'd really appreciate some feedback from the EverthingSG community. Pic quality is crap as I snapped these with my phone in low lighting, however, I can definitely snap more with a better camera and lighting.
