LP and JEM are two different worlds. You can't compare those. If you already have SG, i think a JEM would be a better addition to your collection.

I think it comes down personal prefence on this one!! Im going to buy an RG presige next!  Versatility (Jem) vs All out tone&sustain (LP) -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

The bridges arent cheap, and the necks are great and there are many styles of necks for LP's. How did you come up with this.  http://www.americanmusical.com/item--i-IBA-S2170SE-NTF.html I like these also. |

Not a comment on the relative merits of Jems vs LPs but on the quality and price tag of a Gibson (much of this would almost certainly apply to a Jem): Bought my first Gibson about 30 years ago and during the intervening years have spent very little time cleaning it. It's been through numerous gigs, survived 9 house moves - including several changes of country and climate. The bridge looks, and works, as good as new. It has no pits, no oxidation marks, no rust. The chroming on it is first class and the intonation adjustment is as sweet and smooth as the day I bought it. My first ever guitar had a cheap Gibson style bridge. The chroming on that started to strip in the first year. If I remember rightly I paid 75 UK sterling for that first guitar and it lasted about 2 years - it's probably worth about 5 UK sterling now. I paid 535 UK sterling for the Gibson (still have the bill and receipt) and its lasted me over 30 - its valued at over 2,500 UK sterling. You pay your money and you make your choice.

In this context it's a Gibson Les Paul.
Cheers, Tony Or maybe I'm misreading the question? The above took the Q as 'what is a LP?' Looking at it again if you mean is the guitar a LP then no it isn't - it's a Gibson semi - my LP is 3 1/2 years old and again the bridge shows no sign of age.

It's a huge misunderstanding to think more output is better. What do you want huge output for, you got an amplifier, don't you? What is the output of a 489T vs. the Evolution? I know as much that the impedance is almost the exact same. -------------------- My bands homepage
