I've played Les Pauls & Strats for years, but first SG just entered the stable! I have flirted with idea of picking one up for a while, but most I looked at were either POS or over-priced. I was stuck in the never-ending construction-zones on the way home from work one day and stopped in our local Music-Go-Round store in Troy, MI. Great place and the guys there are pretty knowledgeable and cool. Anyways, they had this used SG Spc in Ferrari Red. It's been played, but has a solid neck with a nice profile, ebony fretboard with pearl dot markers and nice, big frets (probably refretted at some point). Neck's not as fat as my Historic LPs, more like my '74 LP Std. Many SGs I've tried have real thin necks (like a LP Classic), which just aren't comfortable for my big mitts. Anyways, I played it, liked it, and brought it home to treat myself to an early Christmas present.
