Rewddawg1 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Yeah it is def a great guitar' date=' it just doesnt hit me like my LP special did, havent decided what to do with it, but it does need to be appreciated! i will try to get pics of the back, i just have to figure out where the camera is, because i just moved this past week! [/quote'] Yeah, I'm the opposite I have a hard time with LP's because of weight and upper fret access. I have med. hands and a bad back. I can appreciate the moving thing. At my age I do it as little as possible. Been in the same house and town for 20 yrs. now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xdistancex Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 yeah the fret access on the SG is def better then the LP the weight doesnt bother me soo much but i could def see how it would with a bad back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think LP's are beautiful and have a slight edge in sustain and tone but they are not for me unfortunately. If I bought one it would be for show only.

Go with what keeps you wanting to play all day til you get blisters on your fingers lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffster Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 The neck joint definitely can throw you off, it happens to me with my Explorer. At least the SG has an upper horn, Explorers, Firebirds and V's you can see the entire neck it just makes a difference if you are used to a Les Paul. The opposite seems to happen to James Hetfield when playing his Les Paul, he seems to push the guitar to the left I guess that places the neck where that of an Explorer would be.

xdistancex Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 yeah its kinda crazy how much it can throw you off, you just kinda get use to having your arm in certain positions when playing the same guitar, then when you change it up it feels weird! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I think roughly the same neck on very different bodies gives a very different "feel" that's actually valuable for keeping your head into different technical concepts. I'd love a 335, but basically the instruments I have now are pieces I'm comfortable with - but enjoy switching around on occasion just to push for a different perspective even on the same stuff I've done for years. The idea of doing the same stuff the same way for over 40 years doesn't seem all that neat. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewddawg1 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I have to admit that getting used to an SG with a fixed bridge & stop tail piece took a little getting used to. All the guitars I used to have & play had tremelo's. The fixed bridge & ST piece shortened the area for palm muting & stopping ringing strings. Once I got used to it now I love my SG's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xdistancex Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 yeah thats what i figured when i got the SG was i would just get used to the feel of it, just havent yet. my LP special just feels right! and i like the p-90s in my LP better then the humbucker in the SG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
