Re: I'm an idiot.

Remember my non-Gibson SG thread?

Well after doing some research I've come to the conclusion that I'm not going to chance a real Gibson falling apart because of bad design. Also, if i ever meet TLD, he won't be able to break my guitar by looking at it.

So I decided to do the only thing more idiotic than looking for a better built copy of a Gibson SG.

After I earn my 2nd university degree which I'm starting next year, I'm going to build a better SG, from scratch. Slightly thicker body, bigger/more solid neck joint, nice chunky volute under the truss rod access. Possibly with a flamed maple top and a nice burst to go with it.

Yes, my graduation present to myself will be planks of wood.

What you want is one of those old Yamaha "SG"s.

They have Les Paul thickness bodies and stable neck joints and do everything you want. The flashy models are very expensive but guitars like the SG500 (or is it called SBG500?) are affordable and sound the same.

This is the only SG I've ever actually wanted to own.
