"Mine is. Never been broken, the neck joint never came loose, and I gig that guitar in rotation with all the rest of my guitars. I can be pushed out of tune, but I actually like that I have to pay much more attention to my technique when I'm using that guitar. I have to consciously pay attention and just use my wrist and fingers when bending below about the 7th fret, instead up putting my whole arm into it like I do when I play a conventional Les Paul."
Mine´s in perfect condition too. But I don´t gig with it anymore, use it only at home for recording and stuff. You´re right about the different tecnique for a Les Paul-SG. I´ve discovered that it has influenced my playing to become more sensitive, and much less power used to bend. This has lead to a need for thinner strings on all my other guitars. I play mainly jazz-fusion, and that style seems to fit the Les Paul-SG quite well. I remember the Norwegian jazz-fusion guitarist Terje Rypdal used a Les Paul-SG during the 70s. In a Marshall 50w combo. Breathtaking sound and technique.
