I love my SG, but its got nothing on my Paul *for me anyway*.
I find it to be a little neck heavy, and it will fall if I let it go with my left hand.
The strap button placement is terrible, and if you move it to the upper horn, the little bit of leather hanging down gets in the way of my wrist while playing the upper frets, so I have been unable to find a decent strap location on this guitar... especially for my custom made straps. Upsetting!
The guitar SMOKES in the tone department... but didn't always do so. The stock pickups in the Gothic SG were overwound garbage, and as soon as I replaced the plastic nut with a brass one and threw in some great pickups, this guitar became my favorite studio axe.
But because of the balance, and the strap button placement, I don't use it live at all.
Just my 2cents. I've always loved SG's but I need a balanced guitar, and can't have anything in the way of my hands while playing!
