SG club

I've been playing the shit outta my SG again, shes such a rock beast.... who else is in the SG club with me.... shout out your SG lovin' and tell me what model you have and what mods you've done!

mine's an '04 standard (I think) with decent 500K pots installed and an uncovered early 70s Gibson T-Top patent sticker humbucker at the bridge and it rocks like Angus...

Well, until yesterday I used to hate SGs, because I just can't get along with the neck, and the scale length, but I was down at the guitar shop, and I played this really great vintage branded SG, with a maestro vibrola knock off.

It was just really nice, and yes it still has the annoying scale length, but it's much more playable, though the next guitar I would buy would have to be a HH guitar, with a Floyd, and 7 strings, because my lovely jazzmaster just doesn't suit the kind of music I write(https://soundcloud.com/josiah-luck gives you a little taste. Both songs are still being developed, and neither are perfect), and when playing with a band the p90s hum LIKE NOTHING YOU'VE EVER HEARD!!!

I definitely prefer the necks, feel, and scale length of Fender guitars (and funnily enough I don't mind so-called "Shred Guitars" provided they have a bit of neck with their fretboard), and I enjoy their versatility, but to be honest Gibson make the best looking mainstream guitars, second only to PRS, but then of course PRS guitars look nice, but have no soul, so I guess there'll always be a compromise somewhere

Do you have really wide fingertips? Because you can barely feel a difference in 24.75"and25.5" apart from tension, which can be remedied by gauging up strings a notch and top wrapping your tuneomatic's stop bar to lessen the break angle across the saddles so bending isn't a chore. Personally i can't usually be bothered unless the guitar has such a steep neck angle that i have to float the stop bar really high in order to keep the strings from contacting the back of the toneomatic. My 335 is fine, it has a shallow 50s neck set and the stop bar sits flush with the body teamsmitting tons of string vibration into the centerblock eben with the actionon the high side of medium. My sg and lp are not so fortunate and the lp is already floating too high withthe action lower than i like. Maybe 11s and a top wrap will help her. So if tension's your complaint on gibbies remember that top wrapped 11s will feel a lot like 10s on a fender! If you object to the fret spacibg youare stuck. And i agree, PRSes lack soul,though they play great as long asyou don't mind the giant 'heel of doom.' that heel has kept me from buying a reallynice mccarty model as well as an original mira and a current s2 Mira. I don't go way up the neck all the time but i want to know i can, goddamit!

Also, my sg has a big neck thats just shy of a 50s lpjr baseball bat or fender U in depth but has nice roundness to the shoulders and the pre65 big nut width. SGs vary a ton in that regard even in the same year.
