    • ok, so my Squier Stagemaster is old, and is in need of a lot of work.  However, to fix up this basic guitar, I might as well buy a new one.  (the action is messed up/too high, the pickups need work, etc...)  SO I'm looking into 'em.

    But I'm torn.
    Should I go with the sexy classic Les Paul, or the lighter SG?

    post some actual info here if you can, I want more than 'the LP is sexier than the SG'.

    I like them both, and they both have beautiful sounds that would be perfect for my style (heavy rock/metal).  But I need some pros and cons here, to make a decision

    • well, the store I am going to down near the mall sells LP styled guitars and SG styled guitars (same style, same sound, just not 'name brand') for around $300-$400.

    price isn't really an issue at this point.

    ps: they are great quality guitars, I've messed around with a few of 'em to see for myself.

    I am too, the SG is kinda dumb looking in my opinion, and the les paul is all curvy oh baby I want to touch it


    Also my friend has a knockoff les paul and it sounds/looks awesome.

    • yeah, I know the LP is drop dead gorgeous and has a great sound, that's why I'm considering it.  I wanna hear some kind of comparisons, maybe some ideas of what to look out for, advice, etc...

    The treble/rhythm switch is a little out there so if you want to some Tom Morello shit, good luck with that. That's really all I can think of, great sound, great look, good space between the strings, the whammy bar (if you have one) is a bit far away but you get used to it. It's a good guitar I recommend you get the Les Paul.

    • I'm not much into the whammy bar myself.

    yeah, I love the tone of 'em both, that's why this is so hard.  The Les Paul sounds more open almost.

    • Take both guitars, and balance them against a couch.

    Whichever one falls over first fails.

    If they both fall over, find a different couch. Your COUCH fails.

    • Honestly as long as you aren't going to be running around while playing this guitar I would say get a Les Paul 10 times over. SG's are ugly and gross.
