The reason why I picked up the Les Paul when I started out was two players actually. Jimmy Page for his 59’ and Mick Taylor for his 58’ and 61’ Les Paul SG. They are two different guitars that I believe most guitarists should have both. One is not better then the other, it’s that feeling you get when you play it.

Les Paul by far for me!! My mom was an 70’s-80’s girl so I grew up on a lot of music from that era, especially Guns N Roses and Aerosmith, both bands with Les Paul users for guitarists. I especially remember my first time seeing Slash with a leather jacket, top hat, and Les Paul in hand and thinking “That’s what a rockstar looks like!” My brother also played (for like a few months lol) and I remember he had a Gibson Cherry Sunburst Les Paul and it was gorgeous! Sadly he sold it for super cheap to get some cheap jewelry for some girl he was with. I still haven’t forgiven him for that lol. Half because I started playing years ago and could’ve used it, but also because he sold a $1,000+ guitar for so little!! But I ended up owning my own so oh well! However, as much as I love Les Pauls, the Juniors are where it’s at!! The ultimate rock guitar in my opinion. Plus as a punk rocker the likes of Bad Religion, Social Distortion, Johnny Thunders, and especially Green Day made me want an LP Junior more than any other guitar!!

I first saw the SG via Angus Young but it kind of blended into the background partially from his larger than life performing and AC/DC's huge sound. It wasn't until I saw Dustin Kensrue play one that I saw it as a legit piece of art, and when I finally played my first, a '61 reissue, I fell in love. So for me, it's Dustin followed by Chino Moreno that really got me to pay attention to the SG and I'm grateful for it ...

From the early 70s to the mid 80s, Gibson changed the SG and moved the neck join further in (it eliminated the gap between the neck pickup and the 22nd fret). It made the guitar more compact and reduced some neck dive. Interestingly, the bolt-on Epiphone SGs are kind of based on that design, so if you don't have an expensive vintage SG around, pick up a bolt-on Epi to see the difference.

Funnily enough, although this is probably one of the last people who comes to mind when you think this guitar, the Gibson SG has always reminded me of none other than Radiohead's Thom Yorke. It's one of his main guitars. Thom is an amazing all around musician and a fantastic rhythm guitarist, a role of his that is often overlooked/underrated despite how crucial it is to Radiohead's sound. I love the three guitar thing they got going on.

@Mark Seymour I have no experience with the Epiphone SGs but look at the back of the guitar for the following. '61 Reissue: the neck joint is lower than both horns and the strap button is on the body. Standard: the neck joint is between the horns and the strap button is equal with the lower horn. In my experience this movement of the strap button also helps a bit to stop neck dive.

Les Paul has more volume and will let you fill out the room with a single guitar; to me the SG is a guitar for at least a 2-guitar band or one with a very powerful bass. Also, the SG sounds VERY distinct; it's got this distinct sound you can kind of pin it to a specific artist/song etc. The Les Paul unless you're seeing it... you wouldn't necessarily tie a song/artist to it (of course, you can tell the sound is coming from a Les Paul, but it's not so obvious).

I own both the Gibson Slash sig. and the Gibson Tony Iommi sig. I had never played a Les Paul or SG before getting them. I gotta say I really like the SG. It's very light weight and thin. Easy to play sitting down with the guitar close to you, good balance on your leg. The Les Paul weighs a "ton" in comparison and sitting down it's kind of back-heavy so it's harder to keep it centered on your leg. The SG is more comfortable to me. I always thought a Les Paul would feel chunky to play, but both the LP and the SG have a very "petite" feel on the fretboard. I'm used to playing jumbo frets on wide fretboards (jacksons)where the strings almost never touches the fretboard. Not so here, the smaller frets gets the strings close to the fretboard and are very easy to press down, soft and nice. The neck on both the SG and LP are really round C-shaped but the distance between the frets, being only 22, feels comfortably small and easy to reach. Their necks are both really comfortable to play. I'm thinking about purchasing an Epiphone SG Standard to use as an everyday "work horse". Hopefully it's just as comfy as the Gibson variant. =)

The real differences: LP: Designed to sit level on your lap and hang level from a strap. Feels the same as any other guitar when playing so you can swap guitars and play without looking at the fretboard. SG: Designed to fall on its headstock on your lap. Designed to fall on its headstock on a strap. Feels totally different from any other guitars so if you switch guitar, you'll be landing on the wrong frets. You must look at the fret board while playing.

I also have an ES-335 that I LOVE the blues tones I get with it, but It is a big guitar and I cann't play it long or it tires me out and hurt my shoulder.

Gary Moore. He's why I got a Les Paul. Difficulty getting to the 22nd fret. (And financial need.) That's why I sold it. Lonnie Mack, K.K. Downing, Rudolph and Michael Schenker, Wolf Hoffmann, James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett. They're why I'm into Flying Vs. Them and the easy access to the 22nd fret. I'm certainly not trashing Les Pauls; now that I've owned one I understand the mystique. And that sustain thing is for real, not just urban legend, like I _used_ to think. Easy access to all the frets is more important to me, though, and innate sustain is less important to me with the style I play. But if I walked into a guitar store and they told me, "Congratulations, you're our one millionth customer, you can pick out a free SG or Les Paul," I would probably pick a Les Paul. But it would be close, especially if they had one of those 3-pickup SG Customs with the Vibrola. (Like Dagan's.) I'd take one of those over a Les Paul Standard.
