Joe M Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I have an SG jr that I really like. I’ve just got an opportunity to get a LP jr at a very fair price but won’t get to play. I know the obvious similarities and differences, but I’m really hooked on the single P90 sound. Guess what I’m asking is will they SOUND that different to go for the LP? Thanks for any insight.

SteveFord Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 From my limited experience, I think it'll sound a bit different due to more wood in the LP body. I say go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmachine Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I believe the difference in pups alone would be enough to make it quite different. I have an SG with 490s and one with '61 zebras. When I got the latter, I was surprised how different it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merciful-evans Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Well, I think they sound different. Not everyone agrees of course. I prefer the sound of an LP, but like the looks of SGs better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
