Les Paul Special.
Oh,okay.. SG's are nice too
Yes - they have sexy curves and horns and only the shit ones have neck dive. The controls are fine. SGs are splendid guitars - great for bluesy rock stuff.
I like that !
Some never seem to be able to separate SGs from the image of Angus. But I associate them more with late 60s psych in terms of image. Most of my fave Harrison stuff was recorded with his SG. The reason Weller plays one is Rubber Soul.
In in my experience the SG is the best Gibson solid body for lower gain sounds too. It's like a supercharged Tele but with the Gibson attack envelope - and I've played mine in a funk band (clean)... it sounded ace.
Its live that they come "alive". A hair of volume and gain and the opportunity for musical feedback is around every corner. Mine in like a divining rod on stage.
So so should you get one? Yes. Most definitely.
Despite some internet bollocks, they don't just fall off.
I have a rule, the guitar is only ever in 4 places.
Flat on the bed - best place to restring it.
Around my shoulders or on my knee
On the stand
In it's case
If it never gets bashed and never falls over there's no reason for it to break.
I will say that £900 for a Std. and you only get a gig bag with it ! That's a bit cheeky since the Gibson case is an extra £150.
For £165 i can get a proper Ally flightcase so i think in time i will probably go that route.
Don't worry about it
