...and I suddenly feel a great need for an SG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Gahr]

Oh, everyone needs at least one SG, whether they realize it or not.

 

[Mr Grumpy]

^ close, Gahr, but I believe that scientists say that two is the minimum for species survival whereas 4 is the preferred number for species advance.

You know, thru out the years I've hear a lot of people/talk about SG going out tune (tuning stability issues) and pretty much the same thing for Fender Stratocasters (being floated for trem work). But, it can't be too bad, I mean, look at all the Pro, made it big, players using both. An SG is still probably my most favorite do to upper neck access. A Les Paul is still probably my favorite slinging guitar - just slings great standing up and playing - fit the pocket type thing. Fender strats? Well, I've never disliked them, but never really owned too many either. I always want an SG. Still do. And even though I'm attempting to do the strat life thing now days I still want an SG. SG=Super Great doesn't it

 

[BFT Gibson]

SG...yes !! Hunting hum/p90 ever since got the LP like that. Been listening to early Sabbath....really just letting those first early riff's set in. How good they are...also ..that walking bluesy bass line & very mthodical drums with many up & downs ...just great stuff..then OZ...they were so rad for back then & maybe its the in the pocket metal riff...without all the theatrics is what bangs my head afterall

By those numbers, I need 3 more!!

 

[gball]

Everyone needs an SG. I really believe that.

 

[mcblink]

Well I don't have one yet. Not sure when I'll buy another guitar, I may consider one if I can overcome my fetish for Vs

That is a tough one, I bought my SG 2 months after the V, they both combined cost less than the heritage cherry burst LP ,,,

Thing is, and I can't put my finger on it exactly, SG's are almost their own category. They do most of what a Les Paul does (they were designed as the updated LP after all) but have something special going on in the feel and sound that is different from the LP or other all-hog Gibsons; They don't have the low-end punch or high-end bite that a LP has but the midrange has presence and snarl in a way that no other guitar has, which I think may be from a combination of the very thin body and neck joint. They're more comfortable and lighter than Fenders but can enter that sonic territory at times, especially ones with single-coils. I dunno, they are just special and everyone should have one.

 

[eSGEe]

yes.

 

[Trident]

SG plzzzzzz

 

[Truss_rod]

I don't believe there is anybody that has more fun than Angus...

 

[Trident]

Yes! Not only did his skills make ya wanna shred, he was a hoot to watch onstage..

 

[Gahr]

So, with my count currently at 4 Gibsons and one Epi SG, and a Gibson EB-0, I guess I am pulling my weight when it comes to the advancement of humankind!

 

[eSGEe]

DEVIL GUITARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Session 5]

Or one of these A beautiful Godin Core CT

 

[Session 5]

Or one of these.

 

[gball]

Or one of these.

Cool guitars but a world away from an SG, much more like a Les Paul Junior/Special. I really think the thin body and design of the neck joint are essential ingredients that define the feel and sound of the SG.

 

[iblive]

Ok..... ok already. I’ll get my G400 restrung so I can play it again. Broke the high e a bit ago and been too lazy to put new ones on. All this SG talk has me gassing to play it. Thanks a lot guys.
