I was just wondering,
Are SG standards heavy? And what about teles (american)?

also why the FUCK does SG standard come in only 3 colours and special comes in like 5. Man that pisses me off.

And personal preference here. What do you all think of natural burst?

    No SGs and Teles aren't particularly heavy... my Townshend SG is very light weight... and so is my Tele, to a lesser degree.

    I don't know why there are only three color options... but I think they have all you need.

    natural burst is a great finish.

    1. Yeah they are pretty light about the same weight as a tele or a strat, maybe 5 or 7 pounds or so. Les Pauls are the heavy beasts.

    2. I don't know. Most likely cost effectiveness.

    3. I love burst finishes very cool. Black and Cherry are the most traditional SG finishes but the classic natural burst is pretty popular too.

    Cool over the years gibson changes the colors they offer on various guitars.

    The Les Paul SG is in white with 3 gold 57 classics. It was an SG Custom that looks very similar to the "Black Beauty" Les Paul Custom of the Era.

    Les Paul used it recording on the album "Les Paul Now" and many other people including Hendrix I believe love that guitar. It was re released a few years ago. Wonderful guitar. I believe the SG Standard used to come in white a few years ago they fade into a lovely cream color The Guild S-100 also came in white a guitar very similar in look to the SG that Kim Thayil from soundgarden used to play.

    boy I'm just full of pointless facts aren't I.

    I bet it looks good on you pure. White goes well with green I think.

    they made SG Specials in white too...

    PT played one for a bit... but the more famous user was Nigel Tufnel of Spinal Tap... at least I think that was the characters name... the lead singer, Micheal McKeon's character...

    Tap Rules!!

    The leader currently is the cherry SG standard. But the black tele HS is very close behind.

    I like the neck way better on the SG, but I love the mixed pickups on the HS. And teles look amazing.
