SG appreciation

[JB_From_Hell]

To clarify things, mine's technically a Les Paul, but for all intents and purposes, it's an SG. I absolutely love the sound, feel, look, etc.... does anybody else prefer SGs to LPs?

[thunderlung]

Nope. I have owned 2 SGs and sold them both. Everytime I played them I would just be thinking to myself "Dang, for the money this could almost be a Les Paul." People seem to love them though. I don't think I like the reach to the lower frets.

[random_guy]

I prefer SGs to Les Pauls, but I don't like humbuckers except in hollowbodies, so I'm judging the p-90 versions of the sg and les paul.

[big_black]

Why yes...I beleive I do.

JB from hell and Big Black both love SG's and they are both VERY gay.

Does that mean flamming homo's LOVE SG's and if you have a SG you may be gay?????

[big_black]

I was "hanging out" with Neil Patrick Harris the other night, please don't tell anyone.

Ok dude, I won't. Oops...

I own two Gibson SG Juniors. They're plain, simple, and to the point with their single equipped P-90. They're two of my favorite guitars that I own. I always have one of them out and ready to play.

I am in love with Doogie houser!

OK, if thats your thing.

I love my SG X!!!! Single bridge pup that you can coil tap, 1 tone, 1 volume, light, 24 frets. Awesome tone to die for no matter what pup I've had in it. It's simply the perfect gigging guitar. However, my Gothic SG is more of a Love/Hate relationship which may lead to its sale for a LP.

sg's are awsome, they dont weigh 15 pounds

I absolutely love sg's. They sit on me PERFECTLY and have awesome snarly sounding mids. I wanted one of the faded ones for a while so I'd have an actual gibson but the neck felt stickier than glue- will be a bit before I shell out for a real gibson.

[JB_From_Hell]

Do you think a little elbow grease (ie, steel wool and sandpaper) might have fixed the neck issue? I need to have a replacement in mind, in case my dad ever asks for this one back

[casblah]

The thing I don't care for about SG's is the neck joint. I kinda play like a caveman, and whenever I'd get a little excited; I'd pull the guitar out of tune, for a spell. Other than that...it's a great guitar.

[JOLLY]

Here's my Jr.'s I cropped them from another pic. Not the best pics in the world, but they jam in person.

^ Cool guitars

[idsnowdog]

^ Is it a Les Paul Double Cut? They have notoriously weak neck joints

I have a SG Gothic that I bought about 4-5 years ago. I replaced the pickups and put an awesome mirror pickguard on it. I will tell you that I have not found a Gibson that I like better. I was given a $3,000 les Paul limited edition for christmas, I took it back. It was not as good as my SG. It is my go to guitar, I can always depend on it. It looks and sounds great. I plays fantastic and I have not found a guitar that plays better (or easier I guess). My only complaint is that it is top heavy (if I like the guitar hang, the headstock will fall towards the ground.

But as far as other SGs go, haven't really played on that I like much either.

[JOLLY]

Me? yall talkin to?

[JB_From_Hell]

Yeah, Jolly, I was saying those two Jrs are cool.

[StratTom]

I have a G-400 and I dig it. I would like to get a Gibson SG someday.
