Members vexed73 Posted October 14, 2006 Members Share Posted October 14, 2006 Wife likes my Epiphone ELitist les P. but she was in an accident a while back and has problems with one of her shoulders. I was thinking the SG would work well for her and she likes how they look. She is learning how to play and I bought here a Squire Tele custom to learn on but she doesnt like that, and she has the same problem with the Wolfgang. I am thinking the rosewood fretboard and scale length is what she likes about the les P. Any way if you choose other please list it and tell me why you listed it thanks y'all.

Members rehearsedwail Posted October 14, 2006 Members Share Posted October 14, 2006 i have an 87 sg standard and i really love it. got it for 1045$ about 3 years ago - truly one of the most playable guitars ive played. very fast neck, the action is very low, the tone is great (though its not a les paul - you wont get the balls of a les paul but you can come close - also some great cleans on mine) i havent played a faded sg to be frank so i wont advise you - ill just say the standard is a great guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mercer Posted October 14, 2006 Members Share Posted October 14, 2006 Faded. I like 'em. They're nice lookin', and though the pups aren't supposedly that good, it can sound like an iron chair being drug along cement or a mockingbird in spring.

Members metalheadUK Posted October 14, 2006 Members Share Posted October 14, 2006 Well, with the proviso that I'm possibly not really an SG man anymore, when I bought my special, it was the nicest SG in the shop. It plays and sounds pretty much as good as any other I've played, and I prefered the neck to the '61 RI thT i PLAYED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LowMach Posted October 14, 2006 Members Share Posted October 14, 2006 The SG Classic was the ticket for me! Love the sound and feel! Love the look of binding with no in-lays as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ESchmidt Posted October 14, 2006 Members Share Posted October 14, 2006 I like the faded. I think it sounds better with the lighter finish, more natural I suppose. But everyone is different. Plus it is much cheaper and is still a Gibson! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members leopardstar Posted October 14, 2006 Members Share Posted October 14, 2006 i got the supreme, the maple cap realy does something for the tone, and the 57 pups just f'n scream, plus she a real looker to boot. there are no copys (fakes) that could even come close to this guitar, i don't care what anyone says. to me it plays and sounds better than any lester i've played to, did i mention tone monster?

Members GAS Man Posted October 14, 2006 Members Share Posted October 14, 2006 Be thinking about the tone aspect since those SGs differ a fair amount due to their different pickups. I have a '61, a Classic and I bought the Epi Elitist for my son. I like all three of those. I also like the looks of the Gibby Faded Browns, but I'm not as much of a fan of the 490s and 498s as I am of the 57s (and the Epi Elitist clones) and the P-90s. I clicked on the Epi Elitist since it has nice cleans and you can add the grit as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jimmy310 Posted October 14, 2006 Members Share Posted October 14, 2006 My Epi SG Standard i got was the best out of the batch. When i got the SD's installed, the luthier said it was one of the best epi sg's he's seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AndersonTech Posted October 15, 2006 Members Share Posted October 15, 2006 You're lucky your wife shares your enthusiasm for playing guitar. She deserves a Gibson SG Standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
