Members fuzzface71 Posted March 22, 2013 Members Share Posted March 22, 2013 Here I go again...this is becoming a habit. I'm selling one. I know i'm going to regret it, but I can only keep one. Which one would you keep? SG R9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jazzguy Posted March 22, 2013 Members Share Posted March 22, 2013 Personally, I would keep the Les Paul. I've never been able to get the right sounds out of an SG, while the LP will "growl" when needed, "sting" when needed, and has a pleasing bass/treble mix. However, for every "gimme" there's a "gotcha". The LP is about 2 1/2 times heavier than the SG.Why not keep them both? They're like tools of the trade - you need a light/portable guitar with a sound that you like: SG. You need an upgrade in sound, easily bendable strings, and a soft touch: LP.

Members The EAKLE Posted March 22, 2013 Members Share Posted March 22, 2013 I'd agree with keeping the Paul. Aesthetically it's way better IMO, and ive always had fun with them, although that isn't much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jimash Posted March 22, 2013 Members Share Posted March 22, 2013 That is the right configuaration for an SG, so I would keep that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darkstorm Posted March 22, 2013 Members Share Posted March 22, 2013 Since I like SG's and havent been much a fan of LP's shape. So if it was me Id keep the SG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 This is honestly one of the hardest This vs. That questions I've ever seen on this forum. They both appear to be excellent examples of classic designs, with the kind of features I'd look for. If one or the other has a flaw of some sort in terms of versatility, playability (the "feel" of the neck would be a significant deciding factor for me), sound, or overall vibe, then that's the one to (grudgingly) get rid of. Based strictly on looks, IMHO, it's too close to call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blueboxer Posted March 22, 2013 Members Share Posted March 22, 2013 Sell the CD collection and keep both guitars. Don't get me wrong, most of my CDs were jacked out of my car a few years ago and I don't miss them as much as the guitars I have that are as nice as those two.Also, this is a very tough decision. I don't mean to be insensitive but if you gotta chose it's down to how they both play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BrentMpls Posted March 22, 2013 Members Share Posted March 22, 2013 I would keep the SG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChuckNorris1982 Posted March 22, 2013 Members Share Posted March 22, 2013 I'd definitely keep the SG, but mostly because I don't like flame tops. If I were you I'd keep whichever one you use the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PurpleTrails Posted March 22, 2013 Members Share Posted March 22, 2013 Keep the LP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sparkfriction Posted March 22, 2013 Members Share Posted March 22, 2013 how Phil said... thats hard. which one was the powerhorse in the past? did you play the most stuff on the LP or the SG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TomCTC Posted March 22, 2013 Members Share Posted March 22, 2013 Keep the SG, you'd probably get more cash for the R9 anyways. Amazing guitars. You're a lucky man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jazzguy Posted March 22, 2013 Members Share Posted March 22, 2013 This may be too personal, but why do you have to sell one? Also, have any of our opinions helped in any way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members goodhonk Posted March 22, 2013 Members Share Posted March 22, 2013 if the LP was tobacco burst it'd be a difficult decision. as is, dump that ugly LP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members starmansam Posted March 22, 2013 Members Share Posted March 22, 2013 I'm wondering about which one can be replaced more easily down the line when you decide its time for another, or something similar. They both look like killer guitars, I love the look of the sg, but a good lp is hard to beat. If it is a money issue and you love both guitars equally, then it may come down to which one would sell for more or would be cheaper to replace. if it is a too many guitars issue and all other factors are equal, then whichever one you can sell for more.

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted March 22, 2013 Members Share Posted March 22, 2013 They are both lovely, but I'd probably sell both to try and finance a Tobaccoburst Les Paul Standard from the 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PRS_JRW Posted March 22, 2013 Members Share Posted March 22, 2013 Don't let us idiots decide, we can't make up our own minds. If it was me, I would choose to keep the LP, but that's me; and it's the look, sound, and feel that would fit me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
