Am I the only one that can`t see the back of the headstock when I`m tuning my guitar, sounds inconvenient.

Of course Les Paul did not approve of this, he wasn't too keen on the double cut of the guitar and refused to have his name licensed on it. So they called it an SG, which I think stands for Solid Guitar or Solid body Guitar. Technically it was a Les Paul and would have been but thankfully Les Paul didn't want his name on it so instead of scrapping the single cut Les Paul we now have two awesome different guitars. I like that guitar except for the the headstock tuner crap I could do without that but I mean 24 frets and P90 pickups probably just screams. __________________ 2010 Gibson Ebony Explorer 2011 Gibson Honeyburst Les Paul Traditional Marshall Haze 15W Head/Cab Hughes & Kettner Tubemeister 5 Next: Fender Road Worn Telecaster?

What's in a name anyway? It's a cool looking SG.

I'd hit it.

He had more issue with how they set the neck in. He thought the guitar would break easy.

Though the SGJ and 70s Tribute SGs are what've caught my eye. __________________ Yes, I know everything. No, I can't play worth a damn.

The hunt for the elusive '59 SG continues.........

But in all seriousness I kinda dig the model, though the fretboards are wayyyy too dark to be rosewood. And it for sure shouldnt be called a 50's tribute SG. But an intresting model either way

How about a 58 Flying V that isn't a custom shop? (ie. people can afford)
