Finally found my alternative to a Les Paul

I'm a dyed-in-the-wool LP player, always have been. The weight distribution, feel, everything on a LP is just right for me. Over the years I've wanted to branch out a bit and try different tones with Strats and Teles. I've had a number of each and just cannot bond with them !! I just parted with my last pair of Strats at a super cool music store in Portland Or. While we were working the deal, I spotted a very clean 2014 SG '61 RI on a stand. Surprisingly (to me anyway) It occurred to me that I've NEVER even held an SG. I sat down and noodled with it for a few minutes and I was hooked. The previous owner had put coil splits on PP pots which added to the tones I could get. It can nail Fender tones quite closely while still feeling like a Gibson in my hands. I've been playing it for over week now and it's a keeper. The LP's are not going in the closet but this SG will be played quite a bit at gigs.
