![]() I think the SG has a maple neck (mahogany for the LP), and depending on what year it was made the body material can vary a little, but they sound very similar because they share the same pickups. There's not much difference beyond that - the pickups are the same, the controls are the same, the hardware and scale length are all the same. ![]() When it comes to choosing the Les Paul or the SG, it really comes down to which body shape you like better. It will make a great first guitar and a great beater or backup if/when you decide you want to upgrade. The guitar itself is also a freaking tank - it'll take just about all you can throw at it. The pickups are a little dark, but for such a cheap instrument they play really well (especially with distortion). ![]() But my god did it sound good for what it was. At the same time though, I don't know if that was because of its history, or it was defective, or just a shitty guitar all around. There were bung frets above 15 or so, most of the hardware was rusted and the tuners slipped out a hell of a lot. ![]() They were pretty much identical save for body shape, however mine was secondhand and not in great conditon (I paid like 80 bucks NZ or something). I had an Epiphone SG Special as my first guitar, and my friend had the Les Paul.
