I own Ibanez RG just to have one, but it´s not black. . Many here seem not to like the Gibson SG. But it has lived in the shadow of the popular LesPaul over the years. It was mostly used in the late 60´s and early 70´s. Mabye if Jimmy Page had used an SG it would have been more popular than the LP today, but I think most people that buy SG nowdays is because of ACDC. But I own both and use them equally.

The Gibson SG for example. I hear nothing but good things about it...it isn't an ugly guitar...but for some reason, I couldn't be less interested in owning one. I don't know why. Anyone else feel the same way about some other guitars? Gibson Les paul and SG Don't know why, I just don't like them! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

If I were a billionaire I would own every single expensive model But on the other hand, I think there are guitars which are a great deal for the price and guitars that are overpriced. Two guitars that I loved trying them but I think they are overpriced are JEM and Gibson Les Paul custom. I think I will buy a Gibson LP at some point, because it's a dream guitar(because of tone) but I really think it is overpriced. Concurrents have more pickup options, are easier to play, lighter to handle and still cost 60-70% of Gibson LP custom... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Like for instance I really do not like the looks of any flying V or razorbacks. The one high end brand that I don't like only because it seems all the guitars look the same is the Parker's, that top horn just really urks me for some reason lol, but some people swear by them so it's all personal preference.

I've had it professionally set up, and still didn't like the way it feels, and now it seems like every time I pick it up , I am changing the string height to get it to feel better to me, but no luck. Its a beutiful looking guitar - Honey Burst with a polished top(Not high finish since it was originally a faded - Common mod people do to them), very detailed workmanship(especially the neck binding). It just doesn't feel right to me and I prefer my Fender Strat. I've considered selling it, but want to like it still. I really want an ES335 but can't justify the coinage.
