    I'm thinking about getting an Epiphone SG-Special, it's almost half price at musiciansfriend.com and want to know if you would suggest getting it (for a beginner) ?
    I would go Les Paul 100, but that's just because I'm not a huge SG fan.

    It would be a solid beginner guitar though!
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    I have both. I LOVE the LP-100.

    The SG Special weighs as much as a Gibson...and I'm very unimpressed with the tone. If you got the choice, go with the LP-100

    My gear:

    Guitars: 2003 Fender Mexico Strat, fitted with American Pickups. Also now sporting a PJ20 Sticker.
    Wishlist: '72 Thinline/Regular Telecaster

    Pedal Chain: Guitar -> Ibanez TR-s Tube Screamer -> ProCo RAT II -> Boss DD 20 -> Amp

    Amp is a Fender Frontman 212.

    Not as impressive as some of you, it should be known Im a fender guy love em so much.

    Nothing to be ashamed of!

    I'm a Fender man too! '88 Fender Power Jazz Bass Special and an '01 Strat to go with my Epi LP. Not ashamed at all that I don't have a US made on the list (although I would kill for a US Strat, just not in the budget)
