Solid connectors
Nice and rugged and large enough to accommodate Mogami W3104.

Cool reissue of a classic Marshall
The 100W SJ is a good amp. I was expecting it to sound more like "Sunset Strip in the '80s". Instead, it reminded me more of acts like Black Crowes and RHCP (both used the SJ quite a bit). The demos out there are a bit deceptive :)
Sound quality is good. It's not terribly versatile, but has more good tones in it then I expected. I was interested in the SJs and one day I noticed a retailer was blowing them out -- with a 30 Day return policy. I went for it.
Downsides: At an asking price of $1899 I would like an amp that is built to last a long time and is easy to repair. I also found it priced on the high side.
That said, I paid much less than $1899 -- I'm happy with the amp I paid for. It didn't become my favorite amp, but it is a great addition to the collection and one of Marshall's best designs IMO. The cleans are very nice. Diode clipping is a cool sound but it wouldn't work everywhere for me. I'm more of an AC30 guy, but the SJ is good for heavier stuff. Note: the SJ is a 25 year old design. It doesn't do a modern Brutal Ultra Gain tone, like Rectos, Soldanos, Engl, etc.
Several others in an internet forum I frequent bought them -- many are very happy with them. I don't know of anybody who bought one and disliked it. Some say the originals are better and some have knobs that are more difficult to turn. Give it a try. You'll probably like it, like the many people I know who really like theirs.

Some of the best strings available
These strings are good if rust or corrosion force you to change strings more often than you like. They sound good and last pretty long. the coating also reduces finger squeaks.
