Gibson Flying V or SG?

Re: Gibson Flying V or SG?

I'm gonna highly recommend the SG. Now, I'm usually an LP guy, but the SG is one of my most fav guitars fo all time. They look super cool and are extremely effortless to play. The tone is great, I don't think it sounds thin, definetely not as thin as some want you to believe. Angus's tone was never thin... Anyways, I think the SG has way more going for it than a V. I don't think you'll regret getting an SG. I'm willing to bet you'll love it...

Like the man says, you won't regret a sleek, sexy SG, but you could regret a big, clumsy V. Think of Clapton (Cream years), Angus, Derek Trucks, & Frank Zappa with their SG's. And Hendrix & Buddy Guy played SG Customs in the 1960's. Then again, if you're still torn, you can probably afford to get an Epi SG and V both (you'll play the SG more often though).

Doesn't the V have much more body volume total?

And more neck support.

Thanks guys, I'm headed down to the music store tomarrow before our gig, cuz I heard they have some Epiphone LPs in. I'll try it out and see if I like it more then the SG or V. I'm swinging on the V side though, because my Ibanez AXS body style is similar to the SG.
