What's Your Next Guitar?

[Byrdman]

For some reason, I've started looking at SG's again. Wanting a dual HB, a wide neck, lighter and more comfortable to play unlike my LP I use to have. I have seen some used Gibson's around in the $1000-$1300 range in my area. I guess I want a LP sound without being an LP. My LP sounded great, but it was so uncomfortable to me to play and I never really got into it. Maybe I'll look at getting a lessor model, Epi 400, to see how I like it before spending the bigger bucks.

My buddy has a SG I love to play, comfortable but at times it seems too light. Anything else I should check out?

Either an S2 mccartey, CE-24, or if I strike it rich an HB-II

 

[Whizzinby]

Depending on the day either a Schecter Banshee Mach 7 or a Strat. I’d imagine I’ll get both eventually but the order is the question.

I was just thinking of an SG last night. I have very little experience playing one but I can see where they may be hit or miss based on weight and possible neck dive. A style of guitar you really need to test drive before pulling the trigger on.

The next one I get will be the one that pops up unexpectedly that I don’t need but I’ll end up getting anyway. It’ll most likely be a 24 fret H-H superstrat with a figured maple top.

 

[metropolis_4]

I really want it to be an old school super Strat. But I’m starting to think I need another Gibson instead.

My main LP is starting to show a lot of fret wear and I think I need a second one to take some of the wear and tear off the first

I wanna get into the multiscale game...

...and still need to check the prs box one of these days

Yeah, I agree! Not sure what is worse, neck dive on a SG or neck rise on an LP. That's why I may try to pick up a used Epi that I can make changes to it, wiring, pickups etc. I may also think I'll check out a Yamaha Revstar too.

BTW, this is probably a later down the road acquisition, at least that is what I keep telling myself...

It literally depends on the day/which way the wind is blowing, because I don't need ANY of these, but it's fun to play, so:

Balaguer Espada
ESP LTD EC-1000T in Black Cherry (this is the most likely)
Harley Benton SC550 II BCF (Black Cherry color, noticing a theme here?)
EVH Wolfgang Special, either in that Ice Blue or Purple

SGs are great. Sounds like you know what you want, and why you want it. I say don't settle.

Multiple SGs here over the years and never had neck dive. It's all about the strap.
If the strap is wide enough and has enough bite neck dive is a non-issue, in my experience

I'll grab something with P90s next. Probably an LP Jr. Double Cut.

I agree!! Just the inspiration I need

Sometimes I'm feeling like a 335-style or hollow body. Sometimes I want something headless and tiny that I could play in the passenger seat of a car. No reason why I can't have both
