So I planned on getting a Gibson SG Classic when I start working again. The SG has been one of the coolest looking guitars ever in my book, and I knew I want the P90 sound.
Guitar Center still has one so I got it down, and its been awhile since I played an SG, and I never realized how long it feels when you are sitting down. It feels like a 25.5" scale guitar but the frets are close together.
So I grabbed a Les Paul Studio down and I am back to the feel I am used to. Except the heal isn't as comfy as the SG. But it feels like a 24.75 scale like what I like. But the frets were nasty and it was "faded" finish which I do not like
What I currently have is an Washburn WI64PL which combines the thin feel and easy upper access of the SG with the shorter feel of the Les Paul.
But I want an iconic Gibson guitar that I have lusted after for years.
Do the double cutaway Les Pauls feel like a Les paul or SG in terms of overall length? I know there is no heal per say, so I wasn't sure if the total length was made longer like an SG because of this.
If so, where can I get a non-faded double cutaway Les Paul with P90s. A glossy finish, I can't stand the faded. It doesn't have to be a Gibson, but it has to look like one, all mahogony construction, preferably flat top in TV Yellow or Cherry... Should I look at Tokai?
