I've always loved the SG because of Angus. One thing I don't like is the neck seems to be out to far, trying to do an "F" chord is hell. The Explorer is like that also. But Angus uses one, so I had to have one. But when I bought a Les Paul standard, it was pure heaven. I am now hooked on MIJ Ibanez RG's and Steve Vai Jem's.
