Recommended me a guitar

S56035

I have no idea what make model I want but it must have three specific things:

P90 bridge pickup - it can have non P90 neck or nothing at all
Cable jack on the FRONT on the body
Thin "slab" style body

This is for a downstairs sofa guitar that will be used exclusively with Waza Air headphones while sat on the sofa. The receiver for the Waza Airs is too big when using either an LP or Tele, it's gets in the way.

You’re talking about a Gibson SG…..Junior?

Epiphone Coronet, Epiphone Wilshire or an SG Junior or Special spring to mind

I really fancy another SG with P90’s, had a lovely Classic some years ago and very much regret getting rid. It was light, comfortable, resonant as hell and sounded the bollocks. Love that thin slab body feel. I’d try a Junior too as I don’t really use the neck pup much.

I just bought an SG Classic with P90’s. Craxk Ng guitar! Body feels smaller than some other SG’s I’ve had,  but sounds great. 

And, me being me, it’s gaining a Bigsby soon!

Gordon Smith GS1?

If God owned a guitar, that’d be it.

If you find the proportions of the SG Junior a bit odd - the neck is a long way to the left, which can be a problem for sitting down - there are some versions of the Melody Maker from the late 90s or early 2000s which have the features you want but a Les Paul shape.

Gibson DC Tribute Jr or Special, I reckon

S56035

Thanks for all the ideas.  Can't believe I've forgotten about an SG!!

@timmypix - Do any of them come with the jack on the front?

Or, even, earlier than that. (I have a 1965 mk3 fugly double cutaway.)

The old Gordon-Smith GS-1 might be worth a look. 

The PRS SE One is great - although some do not care for its neck profile.

Fender Mustang 90.

I feel that a bit with my Harley Benton SG Jr- even standing up! Is it specific to the Jrs? I don't notice my regular SG Standard being so bad. Part of me wonders if it's the wraparound bridge, and then part of me wonders if that even makes sense!

Yes, they revised them in 2019 to move the jack to side but a 2018 or early 2019 should have the jack visible on the scratchplate

He's already got a rack full of Telecasters ... give a deity's GAS a break!

Think quite a few Squier JMs have P90s and offsets are good sitting down guitars.
