Buggroff, that's me you're talking to. SG = a thing of beauty and noise. A masterpiece of guitar design. Especially in cherry red.
Sorry Squid! I had the vapours.
I don't know if this is the reason for Sea Cat's disdain, but all those 90s Brit pop bands, Oasais and their ilk, all seemed to play SGs which rather tarnished their image for a while.
Currently, the gorgeous Mia Clarke of Electrelane plays one, and she's an excellent, innovative player as well- always taking the leftfield approach but very physical, tugging and scratching, as far from the lad rock dullards as you can get. Something of Angus Young in her stance as well, though I've yet to see her duck walk across the stage- or dress in school uniform (maybe in my dreams...)
