Mr Squid/Black Tempest of this parish has a beautiful SG which he was kind enough to let me have a go on and, by all the Moons of Munopoor, you really do feel like your license to rock has just been given a gold stamp when you drape it on your shoulders.


That's it exactly -- high end Gibsons just feel so good to play that it makes you sound better immediately.

I think it has to do with the neck/fretboard -- I could care a less what any guitar "looks like".

Fenders are brutal instruments with a raunchy tone -- which is good if that's what you're going for (the Hendrix screaming metal voodoo.)

In comparison a Gibson is like a "surgical tool." No wonder it was the primary axe for folks like Zappa, Garcia, Iommi, Santana, Buck Dharma . . .
