paco_mtl Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Hi folks, I need some expert opinion here. I received an offer to trade my 1974 Gibson SG which is 100% original and in very good condition for a '92 Les Paul Standard in Wine red color. I am looking for a Les Paul and I really do love my SG so this is a very hard decision. What would you do ? Would you keep the SG or trade it for the Les Paul ? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stein Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 if you love your sg, why would you trade it for anything? one way to look at it is you can get a 90's lp all day long, but if you wanted to find a 74 sg, one that you liked, where do you get that? i am not expert enough to know exactly how desirable the 74 is compared to other 70's sg's, but just supposing they are a hit and miss thing between getting a good one or a bucket (some years are, but i don't think that one) and you happen to have one that you like, chances are very slim you will find another you like as well if that is the case-monotary value aside. i'm also pretty sure that to find an all origional is going to be hard as well. why not BUY a les paul, and you can shop for it and get one you like. they are all over the place.

paco_mtl Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 Thanks for the help Stein, I think you are right. I should shop for a Les Paul I like instead of trying to save money by trading a guitar that I really like. I will hold on to my SG. if you love your sg, why would you trade it for anything? one way to look at it is you can get a 90's lp all day long, but if you wanted to find a 74 sg, one that you liked, where do you get that? i am not expert enough to know exactly how desirable the 74 is compared to other 70's sg's, but just supposing they are a hit and miss thing between getting a good one or a bucket (some years are, but i don't think that one) and you happen to have one that you like, chances are very slim you will find another you like as well if that is the case-monotary value aside. i'm also pretty sure that to find an all origional is going to be hard as well. why not BUY a les paul, and you can shop for it and get one you like. they are all over the place.
