Get yourself a Johnny Marr haircut and a big jumper and you can be Kimberly Rew (great sound but I'd rather have a small scratchplate myself).
Fab guitars. I don’t think of Angus when I see one, I think of Robbie Kreiger - cool as
Similar for me, but I don't really mind the "to the left" thing, my problem is that most SG necks are too skinny. I'd also like some colours other than cherry, brown, black or white.
When I think about it I've owned quite a few, including some Tokais. I had a Townshend signature which I probably shouldn't have sold, and I still have my Army Green SG-X tucked away in a corner somewhere, I should give it an airing sometime...
Instant love. Then I put OX4s in it and it became about 90 per cent better still. Fantastic thing. And now I love the look too.
Funny innit. For years I played only Strats. Can't really abide them now

My only regrets are getting a cherry red one and the big scratchplate - just looks a bit too typical for an SG. It was the best feeling and sounding example in the shop though, and there's no neck dive.
Fast forward about a year to the end of 2015 and all I'd done was think about getting an SG and I could now afford one, so I tried a few and the brand new 2016 Faded I tried just felt amazing and I ended up buying it on the spot. I much preferred the satin finish on the neck to the gloss on the Standard and it's worn in really nicely. It still feels fantastic now having seen countless hours of home playing in my learner hands. It sounds snappy and clear and can do any style you could ask, way more than just the Angus stuff. I absolutely love it, it's comfy, light and the shape has really grown on me. There's no neck dive at all, it's spot on and the long neck thing has never ever been an issue.
I've become a big SG fan and I'll never sell this one.
I'm keen one day to get myself a P90 Standard model, but that will be down the line sometime.
There were issues, though. The control layout drove me mad - too far away from the bridge - and very cramped. I couldn’t get beyond the look either - I always associate them with 70s rock bands.
I went to see the Eric Clapton film the other night and was reminded how good they can sound. Still not something I’d want to own again, though....
