Dave,
Since you've been playing SG's for 26 years, how would you describe their hallmark sounds? With LPs I think of oozing sustain, warmth and creaminess. SG's seem more open, cutting and middy. Agree?
I absolutely agree. Between my brother & I, we've probably owned 30 SGs over the years. I've also owned several Les Pauls, Strats, Teles and assorted other guitars.
All of the SGs I've owned have their own characteristics but they definately are more open, cutting & middy.
My main guitar for a long time was a 68 SG standard. The past 16 years I have been using a 62 SG/Les Paul which sounds fatter than my 68 did but still has that cutting tone.
