    I'd go with the Jag b/c the tone on those guitars is awesome.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    Depends on what sound you're looking for... They're both great but rather different guitars. Personally, I would opt for the Jag, too.

    What do you want it to sound like? What kind of amp, etc...

    There are so many variables.

    What are the tonal differences when playing through a tube amp?

    Basically, a tube amp sounds 100x better.

    A Jaguar will sound brighter and have more treble sound. The SG, assuming it is a Humbucker model, will have more of a chunky, deeper sound. The SG is better suited to power chords and heavier rock. The Jag is better for the clearer, cleaner stuff that a lot of modern bands play, and, of course, surf type music.

    I have owned them both...SG is an overall better guitar...check out the SG classic with P-90's, best of both worlds!

    The jaguar is a much better guitar. Much clearer sound than the SG has.
