    I think it just says a lot about how resistant to change guitarists tend to be. :P

Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

          I have a lefty SG (no neckdive either), and I'd show pics, but I don't want to blind anyone.

            SG for me - more comfortable and primo upper fret access (can't jive well with a LP's small, heavy body). I don't own one, sadly, but have played a couple - vintage and VOS ones felt/sounded nicest, and nice deep bevels. One thing I don't like so much about them is the bunched up controls and front mounted jack on most 2-3 pu models, but, eh, can't have it all.

            Humbucker or P90, it's all good.

              SGs look great, and upper fret access is far superior to a Les Paul. But they don't sound nearly as good. But I bet if you'd do the Robin thing and build an SG with the same wood thickness and mahogany/maple combo as a Les Paul, and moved the strap button to the upper horn, you'd a have a killer guitar on your hands.

                There was a bloke on the LP forum who built one like that years ago. Looked pretty good.
