> Gibson necks are horrible

Hey now, the neck on the Gibson SG is wonderful.

I've owned both and personally strongly prefer the SG. It doesn't have the same iconic image as the Les Paul, though.

Absolutely agree. My SG was the best guitar I’ve ever played. Stupidly I sold it when moving once. I’ll always regret that.

They say Gibson puts the "break" in "break angle"

But personally I'm just not a fan of the shorter scale lengths and thick gloss finishes on most Gibsons, I'm personally a fan of thinner maple necks and will sand down the finish myself if I have to, but everyone's different

Oh I am too. Most of the time I play a Fender. But I love playing an SG also.
