Andre S Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Somewhere I read that, not too bothered, but just wondering what you think'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 My vote goes for "no". SG neck joints are famous for being weak and easily broken, but I havent seen one do that in person, have read on the net about 50 maybe 60 but that's a little too little for the best selling gibson of all time (lets say 1000 have experienced neck breakage... that's 1000 out of millions produced, and something tells me those people werent treating them right). The rest of them? Not at all. Even the SG has a better neck joint now so there's no reason to worry. What bothers some people is with a bolt on neck you can just change it if something happens, but with a set neck it's costly and not for the average player to perform.

Murph Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 My '79 "The SG" neck joint once picked up Hulk Hogan and body slammed his drunk a$$ to the floor in a bar in Lake Charles, Louisiana in 1985. I was there. I saw it. He even had hair back then. Nobody had cell phones back then, there are no pictures....... Trust me...... I didn't buy the guitar for several years, because it was in a glass case...... It's a legend...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AXE® Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I once beat Chuck Norris with the neck of an SG. He sobbed uncontrollably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCI Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Comparatively*, yes, but if you take care of them and don't have any major accidents, they're fine. *Compared to a Fender but those things are nearly indestructable... nor are they Gibsons... not that there's anything wrong with that.

charlie brown Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Maybe(???) at one time, they were. But, not anymore. I think most of the bad rap, that the SG necks get/got, is from people that mistreat their instruments. But, that's just my opinion. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laney1566 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Ask Angus Young. I hear he is really carefull with his onstage because he is afraid he'll break them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
