SG for rhythm guitar?

No. SGs are only for lead guitar. It says so in the description that this is a lead guitar. Casinos are supposed to be rhythm guitars. Says so in the description.

Kinda wish I wouldn't have asked the question now

 

We're only having a laugh. Maybe your question should have been "What are your experiences of using your SGs for rhythm play?"

 

My response would be

 

"Although they are great for lead because of their fast necks, great upper fret access and low weight, the attack and sustain afforded by that thin mahogany slab and t-o-m bridge gives a rock rhythm crunch like no other."

 

How does that grab you?

Yea I was just wondering I mean you could use it for both, but a LP would be the top choice for lead

 

I think that would depend on the pickups and the tune being played as for which guitar is best for lead. My LPCC has the Classic 57's and the SG 490/498. If the tune needs some snarl, bight, and head banging tone (along the lines of Scorpions, Judas Priest, etc.) I'm plugging in my SG.

Why should an SG not be superb for rythm? Maybe I dont understand the basics of guitar music, but Angus plays rythm for 75 % throughout the songs (together with his 100 % rythm-partner), the other 25 % he does some weird soloing crawling around on the floor :-k So Im a rythm fan and love my SG standard...
