Members DaleH Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 More Rock & Roll played on a 335 than an SG by a mile. [YOUTUBE]6ofD9t_sULM&feature=related[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stinkfoot Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 I concur that the SG is the best all-round rock'n roll guitar. For me personally, it is rock personified. Many will disregard what has come before but consider the history of the SG, those who have wielded them, the tones, the light weight, even the devil horns scream rock. When you pick up an SG, you are instantly given the power to rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cats-o-caster Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 dunno....i found the SG to be VERY one-trick-ponyish. It has a GREAT, GREAT rock sound, but it's not a very versatile guitar for all-around rock....and all-around rock HAS a lot of guitar sounds. Not versatile? remember Frank Zappa?

Members soundcreation Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 +1! I do like Gibsons - just not the company. But I do like the looks of them... the SG especially. I love the SG. It just looks so rock 'n roll. But, I'll never be seen with one. I might try one out in Manson's in a few days, but I don't think I could own one. I'd be embarrassed to be seen with that name on the headstock judging by all the crap about Henry J, Fish and Wildlife, and the general awfulness of that company. It's just the way I feel... maybe it will change if Gibson boots Henry J and cleans up its act. It is a stunning looking guitar though You do realize that Henry J OWNS the company right? Therefore cannot be "booted"?Besides if you want one there are other companies out there that make SG's every bit as amazing as any gibson have ever made. Just buy one of those.

Members sxyryan Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 Should I know who these people are? Anyway, I love the girl's SG, and what's the guy playing? I'm not familiar with those inlays and control layout on a Gibson... so what is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not familiar with those inlays and control layout on a Gibson... so what is it? Yes, you should. The dude is Pepper Keenan from C.O.C./Down. That guitar is an esp. The chick is Liz Buckingham from Electric Wizard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BlueSteam Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 The SG is the most satisfying rock guitar I've come across; the tone, the playability, the freedom to move about. I love both of mine and really want to add a Classic to the collection. As far as versatility goes, I think they're great! You can play any type of rock on them!

Members straycat113 Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 I love the tone of an SG as it is one of the greatest in rock history, but I never liked the feel of playing one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Shiny_Surface Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 I always wanted to try one but the stories about being neck heavy scare me off, I just can't deal with that if it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience is limited, but the two I've played were indeed neck heavy, and it turned me off too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Gibsons, a Faded and a Classic are both good, but I have played an Epi that was a little neck heavy. Most Epi's were good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members monto Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 i dont know why people are worried about the neck heavy thing. i just use a decent non slip strap so it will never divebomb i think im used to a bit of weight in the neck, as now when i play really light necked guitars they just dont feel 'right' to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nighthawk15 Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 I always wanted to try one but the stories about being neck heavy scare me off, I just can't deal with that if it's true. Some are more than others. My GT isn't really but that's probably because of the massive tail piece and kinda heavy knobs on it. When they are neck heavy though I don't really find it hard to deal with but to each his own:idk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GAS Man Posted February 19, 2010 Members Share Posted February 19, 2010 Possibly yes. I like that their tone is somewhere between strat and LP. It gives them a great versatility. The feel is excellent too. Once you get past the devil horns looks, it's hard not to fall in luv with the beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members m90guy Posted February 19, 2010 Members Share Posted February 19, 2010 NO! Sounds great, looks killer, but there are just to many cons that it is just scientifically impossible to catagorize the SG and the best Rock and Roll guitar.
