Key Features
Product Ref: 77562
The SMT’s body is crafted from solid mahogany, delivering soft, warm tones that help keep the guitars overall tonality balanced. With plenty of grind and bite to provide a lot of depth, the mahogany fills up the low end and offers appealing highs. The body is then topped with flamed maple and given a trans peacock finish to bring out the maples figuring, providing a stylish and unique aesthetic.
The maple and rosewood combination gives the guitar exceptionally thick, firm lows and a sizzling high end that’s both sparkly and creamy. The maple neck offers bright characteristics, tightening up the guitar's overall tone and adding some cut for a midrange snappy attack. The rosewood fingerboard ‘furs up’ the maple's tone, giving it some warmth while opening up the mids. The maple and rosewood work together to provide a punchy, gnarl edge when the strings are hit hard, but become clear with light to medium picking.
The SMT features a set of Habanero’s humbuckers, designed with slip coils to give you the ability to switch between humbucker tones to single coil sounds. The two PAF type humbuckers provide a high output screamer, perfect for metal and heavy music. The bridge humbucker delivers a fatter tone than the neck humbucker, allowing for a more defined and dynamic tone for chords and rhythm. Both pickups produce incredible tones that are suitable for a range of musical style, making the GJ2 SMT a very versatile guitar.

The bridge works together with the locking nut to increase the guitar's string stability, while preventing the strings from detuning after excessive bending.
A set of Hipshot tuners are used on the GJ2 guitar, offering a precise turning ratio of 18:1 with quick string changes and excellent tuning stability. With an open gear design and a locking mechanism, the tuners have different post heights for a staggered layout resulting in no string tree.
