I wish Gibson would make a Les Paul with their "slim taper" neck.. I'd get one in a heartbeat.
Who's the best Rock Band of all time and why is it Led Zeppelin?

You mean like the SG? I had one of the 61 SG re-issue a while back and like a dumb kid I traded it in. I removed the stock humbuckers and put in 59 classics. It had such great tone, probably my favorite guitar I owned.

Honestly, I love the neck on this one. It's so much easier for me to play than my s-style guitar with the modern C.

For an acoustic guitar make sure you check out Breedlove. They are phenomenal and are used by many top players. A very intense acoustic guitar manufacturer .

Yup, they are on my short list for an affordable acoustic. I like their organic series.

No..the SG has a chunkier neck too.. but not as chunky as the LP..Maybe the 61 SG had a slim taper..I dont know
The slim taper was put on the 63 ES335..I have a 63 reissue with the slim taper.
My favorite Gibson pickup is the 57 classic..I bought a new 85 Epiphone Sheraton made in Korea guitar in 85..Its awesome, but the pickups were crap..I put 57 classics in, and push pull pots!!

Everyone has different tastes and different hands..If that works for you..GREAT!
I had a 54 LP reissue with those "staple" pickups..It had great tone, but I just couldn't get used to the chunky neck

This LP has the 57 classic pickups. They sound really nice. I don't have all that much experience with different pickups, so I can't really compare.

It's basically between them and the orangewood. I really like the headstock on the breedlove too.

Don’t laugh. Years ago I bought a Burswood acoustic guitar from Target.....it is an incredible sounding guitar and stays in tune for the most part. People that play it cannot believe it came from target.
Go into a Guitar Center acoustic room and just have some fun......

Don't matter where you got it as long is it sounds good. I could have Jimmy Page's guitar collection and still sound like some schlub trying to imitate Page lol.

Last I checked, Gibson wont make 1 off guitars...If you want something made, you have to order like 500..Dealers like Wildwood do that.
Thats why I ordered that blue guitar from a custom maker..he will make anything ya want

All the old timers say.."The tone is in the fingers"
There is a lot of truth to that

I just checked the Gibson site.. They offer a 61, and a 64 reissue LP that has that SG body... They both have a slim taper neck, so I'm sure your original did!!

Yeah it was razor thin. I had a 5150 head too through a Marshall cabinet and celestial greenback speakers. The tone was insane.

I don't know how much time I have left on this planet, but I sure hope that my wife doesn't sell all my guitars for what I told her they cost when I bought em..If she does, some guy is going to be laughing his ass off leaving my house with a trunk load of stuff!
I probably should include in my will to have all my musical equipment appraised before selling.
