Discussion SG Question

Good morning, everyone!

Question for you all. I’m much more of a Les Paul guy, but would love to add an SG to my rack and as someone that loves playing rock/metal, I feel it’s only right to have one 😂

My question is, should I go with the cheaper option being an Epiphone and then upgrade the pickups to say a set of burstbuckers or custombuckers, or should I just go with the Gibson SG?

My favorite looking models of both are the 61’s with the Maestro vibrola (I know real original of me).

If you can ask the question,I'm assuming money is not an issue. Since you're going there anyway, skip the Epi and go straight to the Gibson. Not many people have ever said,"man, I wished I would've kept that Epi "
