Saw this advertised as used and as a leftie its pretty tricky trying to find things. Hopefully may be a bit easier than wrestling with my LP (copy)
I may have a sicknessāguitar number 6 and i haven`t been playing a year yet !!

Niiiiiiiiiiice!!!
Thatās my favorite color for an SG!!!
Donāt worry Tom, itās not a sickness, itās just a harmless obsession!!! 
I wonāt tell how bad it is here but will say that I literally donāt have any room for another oneā¦.
What am I saying??? Thereās ALWAYS room for just ONE more teensy-tiny guitarā¦ hmmmm 
I donāt have any SGs yetā¦ā¦

Congratulations!
Thatās a really good guitar you got. I have its older brother, so to speak, Standard '61 model. Wanted to get an Epi Les Paul, but the color I wanted was absent and SG was cheaper, so I bought it and havenāt regretted once.
It just screams ārockānārollā with its look and I love it. And the higher fret access is amazing, even though that part of the fretboard rarely sees any action.
@metramaks YupāI wont be using the higher frets for a while though. Just breaking into grade 2 Can1t believe its used -looks brand new and the shop set it up before posting as well -half the price of a new one.

They made that backwards! youāll need to play it in a mirror.
How stable is tuning? My neck is very flexible and I need to be very careful not to push or pull on it. I have wondered if it is the neck unsupported length from the body being longer.

I donāt understand the word āunnecessaryā in the subject title. 
Of course 6 guitars in less than a year is a pretty steep (but fun) trajectory. 
Happy NGD!

Very nice! That is a really clean looking SG and congrats on finding a leftie! I feel for you and think that guitar companies are doing all lefties a disservice by not make more left handed guitars.
@TheCluelessLuthier Too steep perhaps but there is nothing super expensive. One good Acoustic (Alvarez) and a couple of cheap leccys

@Richard_N I tried to buy from a shop to try first as everyone recommends but in the whole of Scotland there were no more than a handful for sale. Thankfully most outlets now have good returns policy

How can a new guitar be deemed unnecessary!!?

Mine stays in tune pretty well, even after a lot of bending. And neck is solid enough. Though you absolutely can slightly change the pitch by gently pressing or pulling it and I actually do it in Nothing Else Matters intro.
Isnāt it great? Enjoy your new (and totally necessary) guitar and have fun.

Congrats, very nice.
I sold my LP for a SG and happy with that choice as the LP was too heavy for my liking. Iām not playing my SG much at the moment but thatās just because Iām playing mainly acoustic for now rather than anything wrong with the guitar. Iāll definitely get back to mine in the future

Couldnāt agree more!
I once thought about buying a sg myself, but found the weight of the neck too much, in comparison to the body. The guitar i tried, just ātippedā over.
Howās the balance on this one?
6 guitars? No way near enoughā¦ actually, it never isā¦
