Gibson SG Gothic vs Standard

Hello,

I've got an Gibson SG Standard (bought new)

Now I've been suggested a Gibson SG Gothic twice as cheap as my new SG cost me. And I'm considering that guitar as a backup if it's not very different in sound from the Standard.

So my question is how good the SG Gotic is. Is this better worse than the Standard or it's similar?

Here's that gothic.

Re: Gibson SG Gothic vs Standard

I apologize for my lack of experience with the Gibson Goth series, but I have played the Epiphone Gothic series.

If they're anything similar, the Gothic series has a darker, heavier sound than their normal counterparts. Meant for sounds like hardcore metal, death metal etc.. not my cup of tea, but if that's the kind of music you're playing it wouldn't hurt to try it.

To sum it up, no not the same sound as a standard.
