My '79 is hangin' on this wall. It was my #2 when I bought it N.O.S in 1993. My #1 was a '72 Recording Les Paul. The frets on the Lester were wearing out after some 14 years of bar gigs from Arizona, to Louisiana, to Illinois, and the SG became # 1 as I quickly realized what a great player it was. I had to get a Strat for some reason, and the two of them were used on the "DOUBLE AUGHT" (cdbaby.com) CD in '99. The SG was used in 8 out of 12 songs.
The Strat is gone, the SG remains...... And it will have been to well over 100 gigs this year.
Just sayin......
