So I hunted round for an SG Standard in Heritage Cherry and picked up a 2006 one for £450. Case was a bit tatty but sound, and the SG was in good condition but needed a good set up. It had a very nice tone, very comfortable neck with rosewood fingerboard, and was way lighter than my LP Custom. And strangely I now really like its size and shape and even its plastic tulip headed machine heads. Not as refined as the Grovers on my LP Custom, but they actually stay in tune pretty well...certainly well enough for me not to need to change them.
One pro-set up later its now one of my very favourite go to guitars. Its really easy to play with easy access to the top frets, has a nice action, good balance, and a stonkingly good tone thats great for any style from blues and rock to jazz and funk. And of course its brill for ACDC stuff! Oh and no neck dive!
So although its only taken me about 40 years to see the light I'm now a firm convert to the charms and virtues of the Gibson SG - it's a really versatile, honest, no-nonsense work-horse. I never thought I would be...but I am!

Here are three of mine.
It's a cracking guitar, and no mistake.
