The reason I sold my Cherry SG Standard..

[Techdeth]

I’ve had my SG since 93 brand new . This is getting mounted on my grave

True. Gold hardware is negotiable. Santana shoes are not.

I don't do gold hardware. Les Paul Custom would be my only exception. Of course it would have to be white as well.

I thought about buying your standard.. but I would rather have a 61'

 

[chumbucket]

Classic White.

Here's my 2017 SG Standard in alpine white -

I heard napalm has been growing a bushy stache'......

I actually did. 80's Porn stache.

Sweet SG, ND. I’ve been gassing hard for a teal 61 for awhile now.

Hmmm…never saw you as an SG guy

Never cared for SGs. Feels like the neck is sticking way out of the body.

Because it is. Effortless upper fret access. Firebirds are even weirder to play for the first little bit imo, but once you get used to them very few guitars feel as effortless to play.

I'm with you on this. The Gibsons that have the strap button on the neck heel are more comfortable to play for my tastes.

You get used to playing in B instead of A.
Sure is comfortable to play.

Yeah it definitely is a bit weird playing my SG after my Les Paul because it feels like I'm looking at the back of the neck instead of down. Definitely is comfortable to play though. Every Gibson I pick up is familiar to my hands. As soon as I grab one it just feels like me.

Is your explorer the same way? With the first fret way out there like the SG?

Negative.

The Explorer does come with its own challenges. The upper part of the body comes up quite high, kicking your picking arm out a bit while sitting. Took me a while to get used to each. Love em both.

Borrowed Jerry’s ‘67 and fell in love. Surprised myself even.

Love me green guitars.
