I love it when people use SG’s beyond the typical 3 Chord rock n roll. Jazz? Hell yeah! Blues? yes! Adult contemporary Neo psychedelic post punk hard core? Fu#! ‘n A!

Yep, and besides the cleans, you can pull a lot of crunch out of those P90s

Very interesting and right on, the SG has such a powerful power image as a hot guitar for a long list of shredders. It is one of the easiest for reaching all of the high notes. But as one of the members reoccurring comments in here is that its a tool, what you get out of it is all in your hands...

I've never owned an SG but I've tried to get clean jazz tones from all my guitars with varying success.

I love clean Jazz style tones. Admittedly SG’s are not thought of in this area but I put a set of Ken Armstrong vintage PAF style pickups ( Alnico 2 7.5k ohm neck/8k ohm
Bridge) D A SET OF DR Pure Blues Nickle wound strings and get the tone I had in my head I wanted

That SG should do Right On Jazz sounds. SG's are kicking 6 stringers anyway.

The P90's make for some really gorgeous, lush jazz tones.
Does it rock out just fine, and snarl like a junkyard dog when distorted?
Sure.
But it cleans up real nice, yeah buddy.


Am I alone?
