12. I'm thinkin bout
Edited on Mon Oct-25-04 09:52 AM by mharris660
selling it and my Vox Amp. I'm getting some bad-ass arthritis in my hands now. I'm not ancient or anything it's just that they've been broken a few times. Payback I guess for a hell raiser past.

2. I prefer the SG


Man...I wish I had the ducats for one of these. Alas, I have to settle for the Epiphone version.

5. Bob Mould!
The only guy able to pull off the flying v without looking silly (in my own opinion).

Rudolf Schenker from the Scorpions would have qualified as well were it not for that damned moustache of his.

13. Pete Townsand played one once is while
but other than that he was an SG guy. Carlos with that SG in the Woodstock movie, now thats poetry in motion.

10. Oh man...how could I forget him....
Even though he did most of his best work on a Les Paul. You are correct through. Randy was one of the best and I always feel he gets overlooked. And there I go doing it myself.

14. The Flying V
Edited on Mon Oct-25-04 09:56 AM by kanrok
Looks, and sounds great, but awkward to play. The Les Paul is also an awesome guitar, both in looks and sound. But it is pretty heavy. The SG, now there's a great looking, great sounding and comfortable instrument.

15. I agree
my Les Paul is like putting a coffee table around your neck. I had an old Rick 360, I gave it to my nephew for his college graduation. That guitar had such a sweet sound to it.

16. I actually liked my Telecaster
I liked the sound of it. I can still distinguish that sound from most others by just listening.
