A few tweaks at the amp's eq and they sound the same. But SG is lighter, better balanced... Just feels more comfortable. So, yeah, SG all the way.

Two things; you can wear an SG all day and not feel fatigued. Second, the neck joint on the SG requires that the neck pickup be shifted slightly toward the bridge. In my opinion this is the sweet spot and makes the SG sound better in rhythm setting. Love my SG the MOST!!

SG has always been my favorite. My first good guitar in high school was a gold top Les Paul but i never bonded with it. Got an old double cut Melody Maker shortly after and fell in love with it. Progressed to the SG and just love the way they feel and sound. I've owned a few. Always regret when I get rid of one, I will never get rid of my SG Standard.

Great video guys! I was always a LP fan but lately I started using a Tele and love it also because of its character. SG is also a guitar with character and indeed a very rock n roll guitar. LP doesn't have such distinct characteristics but that's what makes it perfect. I definitely prefer the cleans and heavy sound on a LP compared to SG. But for several rock sounds you need those SG mids.

I own a SG, and love it, it was almost as if some guy secretly measured me up one day and built this particular one especially for me. But the LP sounded really good. Your right, a definite difference between the two. Thank you for the vid, well put together and very informative..... Might have to think about window shopping for a LP as well now.

Awesome comparison and the audio came through perfectly! Of course, the playing is world class. Kudos. I own both, but the turnoff for me initially was the Les Paul weight and girth, so I originally bought an SG 1961 Re-issue in 2008. So much fun to play. When Gibson did the ES-Les Paul Memphis in 2016 (got it in Pelham blue), I just had to have it because it addressed my weight concerns by being a semi-hollow with f holes, but it's admittedly its own tone animal. Recently, I came across a 1987 Les Paul Lite Custom in a limited run Ferrari red (not a fan of the cherry or tea burst), and I also couldn't resist. Awesome guitars, all 3 of them. I also have some Fenders. In terms of tone, I'd put my guitars in this order: Gibson ES-Les Paul, LP Light Custom, Gibson SG, Fender American Strat and then the Tele single-coil. That tone continuum takes you from bluesy clean tone to the twang and bite that's perfect for country. Of course, you get everything in between. If you can, get them all. Music is everything.

Glad to see Chris mention not just that wood makes a difference, but that the SG has more woodiness in the tone. That is how I've always described it and one thing I love about SG's. It's just that little bit closer to a resonant acoustic instrument. But then I tend to favor woody sounding acoustic guitars over tinkly, stringy ones. Les pauls tend to have more of a rounded tone with less woody harmonics. It's kind of a warm fat polite sound, v.s. the biting aggressive SG sound. But to me LP lacks a little in character. I think most tend to focus on the quantitative aspects of more of this or that frequency, but I think part of the magic of SG's is the more qualitative and about the harmonics created by the thin mahogany body. I wouldn't go so far as to say that the LP is a barbie doll stepford wife and SG is a fun, raspy voiced party girl, but...

My first guitar was an SG. I absolutely love my SG. I have tried a few LPs, but haven't been able to find one that calls to me yet. It's how I picked my Strat & Tele. (Fender & G&L respectively). My local GC is actually getting in a couple PRS Singlecut, so I hope to find one I love soon. Actually looking forward to trying the Tremonti; I've heard great things, but haven't put my hands on one yet. Here's hoping! ✌🏼

I Dig em Both! Great video, and I play both depending on the sounds I need.

I got myself an SG Standard from you guys last year, and you didn't even tell me it has a built in whammy, i tried it, and it worked. Totally cool video.

I love both the SG and the Les Paul, but I gotta go with the SG. I played a les Paul for years and it was for sure a solid guitar, but I instantly fell in love with the SG the first time I played it. The sound, playability, and look of an SG is perfection to me. I definitely love the Les Paul’s very much though and would love to have a nice one someday

I prefer the SG. Lighter weight and easier access to the upper frets. I bought one just for the sake of having one now I'm on verge of buying my 5th.

The 61 with the sideways trem is my goal for 2019

I owned a very fine Les Paul, full fledged ebony/gold fixtures about seven years ago, but after a year sold it because it just didn't seem like the right fit or sound. I'm a solo acoustic/electric (Gibson SJ200/Epiphone EJ200) gigging musician who plays those acoustic guitars as if they are solid body instruments. I don't shred, no heavy metal, but some jumping classic rock and roll, and I have been flirting with getting another fuller sounding solid bodied guitar for the faster R&R and even grungier things i do. Just got the Boss ME80 pedal system which has opened doors. Right now all arrows point toward the SG Standard 61. Your vid helps to confirm that move, and for that, kind sirs, I thank you. You play faster than my ears can hear. Incredible!

Presently,( within the past year sold a Fender Strat, a Gibson SG faded and a Epiphone SG 400) I have two teles(one with a mahogany body I made) two fender strats, eight les pauls(one Gibson, one Edwards, two Epiphones, two Harley Bentons, two Vintages) and a mid 90's Epiphone SG with the alnico pups. I love everyone of them for each thing that each does best.

Good demo! I have the custom shop SG you had out at the beginning of the video and love it. Would also like a CS Les Paul but between the two, i'll take the SG.

I have both a Gibson sg & a Greco lespaul.......I was always a lespaul guy until my back started giving me jib so I started to play the sg more and now love it, it’s my first preference guitar now.

Im totally a SG fanboy! That is for sure!!!! Have a Sg std from 2012, and it is an absolute monster Although , really appreciate de LP (specially in the hands of someone who can play them right!) cause not every player can grab a LP and make it sound the best!

Same I never could get comfortable with how the lp sat in sitting position, while sg is perfect, also standing my les was too heavy after a while.

I have a Les Paul and SG and I love both. They offer some difference in sound and both are great! But I like the feel of an SG neck over a LP. Easier access to the higher frets, and just the overall positioning of the neck when standing and playing feels better to me.

I have LP and SG but I also have a Wildcat. Every time I play I play on each for a bit. I've had lots of different guitars and my favorites have been the ES and Wildcat but when I want to crank it I have to go with either the SG or the LP. All are fun to play.

Sg: unparalleled access to the frets, can get the action lower cuz the truss rod all outside the body, snappier, neck can be used as a tremolo, cheaper. Closer to a V, Explorer, or Junior in tone, definitely more midrangey. Evil sounding mids to go with those devil horns. Les Paul: Fuller better acoustic tone, heavier, less comfortable but more balanced, prettier... sounds better with aluminum tailpiece than an SG. My vote goes to the SG.

I own both and each has their strengths in sound and playability. In general, when sitting down, I prefer the SG's comfort and tend to use the LP when standing because of the body to neck balance.

I have both and I like the SG sound more. It cuts through better than a LP when jamming in a band with your buddies.

Although the guitars I love the most presently are the PRS, they are superb ( and the eternal Fender Stratocaster ), and I almost don't play my Les Paul ( by Epiphone ) anymore, I thank you very much for the very good demonstration and careful analysis. I never had an SG, but I think Mike Oldfield is the great guitar genius who can speak the most about SG's in comparison to LP's. Before moving to PRS as his main solid body-two humbuckers guitars about 1990, Mike played on his old SG Junior for many, many years, and I imagine he almost never professionaly used a LP for a long time. Best regards to you all !

I have an Epiphone LP standard and an EPI SG with Coil Split pickups and I luv em both. But I have to admit that sometimes I do hit the wrong note when switching from one to another because of the neck length, takes a minute to get used to the longer and shorter neck... as good as they are I would never recommend either as a starter guitar. The LP because of the weight & the SG because of the length

I’m a Jazzmaster player myself. Of these two I like the neck pickup on the LP and the bridge on the SG. I’ve thought often of picking up an SG- but I’m still finding that Jazzmaster comfort and those crazy pickups hard to beat.

Now that was cool. Great video and comparison. Same everything except bodies. Leaving here to order an ebony 2018 SG Standard. 61 pickups and hardshell case. Thanks!

Getting a new instrument is one of life's gifts. My parents bought me a new 65 Jaguar when I graduated high school. They had it on their bed with the cover open to reveal the guitar. I swear I couldn't be more excited if the hottest movie star was lying there instead of the guitar. I think it was possibly the happiest moment in my life. I don't know what bank my father robbed to pay for it lol. We didn't have a lot of money and that guitar (still have the receipt) was $400 inc. tax and case. He must have paid it off over years. But it was a great investment. I've earned lots of money with that guitar playing in bands over the years. Billy Joel sings that his baby grand piano is his friend, but for me, it's my Fender Jaguar.

I have a 2018 SG Standard that is my go-to guitar, and I recently picked up a Les Paul Junior, so between the two I can get whatever sound I am looking for.

The SG's neck pickup is located a little further down than on the Les Paul. Sure, it's a slight difference - but a profound one. They will never sound the same in either the neck or middle switch positions.

Great video chaps!!

This vid is spot on! I own both. Everything mentioned is exactly my findings. I prefer my cheaper SG than my fancy Les Paul. Im a very tall person and the neck just feels right. Im also a hard rock fan. My Les Paul is great and I keep it around for delicate passages, or when I just want that gorgeous tones. LP definitely has more top and bottom to its tone. My SG however, has a more bold and 'dirty' type tone. The SG does sit really well in a mix, but the LP shines when playing more alone. IN the end, both are great, but my SG wins for my tastes and it makes my LP feel like a brick around the neck.

I'm a Les Paul guy. My goldtop has always been the recording, playing, rehearsing and just all around the most versatile sounding guitar in my arsenal.

I’ve owned both. Old 99 SG Special with ebony fretboard and crescent moon inlays, installed burstbucker pros in neck and bridge (sold to a close friend). Currently have a 96 Les Paul Studio with 57 classics I installed. And I love both for different reasons. I mostly play worship gigs and a lot of the time I am the only electric guitarist and the LP to me I s fuller and thickens up a band. The SG I used to rock with when there was another electric player and I was playing lead. Needed to cut through the mix and I found the SG excelled in that area. I love both and as a player to just have fun I always dream of going back to my SG (if my buddy ever decided to sell it back to me...).

Interesting video. I don´t own a LP-Style Guitar. From the demo i would say that i am in the SG-Camp ✌🏼

Cool vid, great playing.Love both but more emotional connection to a LP sound, personally.

Love the PRS wall at the back!

I have a 2003 SG it’s age has really helped the tone to improve, I have an original 1973 black beauty, les Paul custom , being 46 years old has really given an amazing tone , I can see why people want older guitars , the older the better

I have a 65 Fender Jaguar bought new. My first and only guitar. When Fender came out a couple of years ago with the 50th anniversary Jag, I grabbed my 65 and had a comparison right in the music store with a crowd gathered. Both guitars - the original and the reissue sounded the same at first. Then, I cranked the amp up and really let loose playing. Man, the whole crowd said the old Jag blew away the reissue. What was the difference? You will never guess. The difference was DYNAMICS. The difference between loud and soft notes was waaaay better on the old guitar. In short, it was more EXPRESSIVE. My playing was more "me" because the soft passages were really soft and the loud passages really thundered. The tone was the same on both, for which I give Fender credit. If I had to guess why the dynamics were better, I would say: older and tighter grain wood and better electronics in the sixties. The old capacitors and potentiometers are actually slightly larger and weigh more! Weird but true. I bought a replacement pot from Fender for my Jag but never soldered it in because it was smaller. I didn't test it, but I sure didn't want a thinner sound from the guitar. I love my old Jaguar and when I'm gone, someone's gonna be walking on air if they buy it. It's pure, authentic, surf, grunge, sixties, eighties sound. As the song goes, ain't nothing like the real thing, baby!

I really liked the sound of the SG comparatively. Both very good but would, based on this demonstration, favor the SG. Interestingly I'm awaiting an Epiphone Prophecy SG with Fishman Fluence pickups running the show. I know it'll not be of any comparative value other than the body and neck but should be a treat. (You guys made me wish I had my '61 Reissue SG back). Astounding guitar playing! Yeh

I have both and love both. For different reasons. The Les Paul feels like it loves me when I play, the SG fights me a little that just makes me love it more

SG owner and agree w the sound and playability. Feel I need an iconic LP. But like the sparkle of an SG. Thnx 4 the similar electronics comparison, & through a Brit amp

Having both, SG all day... For blues to rock.. Soooo light and that sweet tone.

Good comparison. Two different but great sounds.

The bass player in my band prefers the SG, cause it gives him more "space" (actually he was the one who convinced me to get one). But I really like my les paul as well for "chunky" stuff. I love them both personally.

I am an SG fan. Goooood I love the playability of SG! But finding a good SG can be a difficult journey. I bought and sold many SGs until I found a good one. Finding a decent LP is much easier. But if you can find an SG of your dreams, that's a great victory moment!

Got one sg. Great stage guitar, really love it. But at home i really appreciate my 4 different Les Pauls. The looks, the sound, the vibe, nothing better than that ;)

Great demonstration! Personally I prefer the SG, the LP is REALLY bass heavy and I imagine it would be difficult to make it fit in a mix without going crazy with EQ:ing.

I'm definitely down for both! Although I'm leaning more towards the SG. I also would take the ESP Eclipse/ESP LTD EC-1000 over the les paul, because the ESPs are just beckoning for me to get them if that makes sense.

No way. It's the body and the thin necks. I have SG and LP with the bridge pickup in the same spot. It's the mass and shape of the wood and how that adds to the overall vibration of the string. Waves are additive. Just like how it sounds different if you use a one piece bridge (better actually, imo) it changes how the whole thing vibrates with itself.

Years of LP, always wanted more 'presence'. Bought a US standard strat. Put 10's on it and 4 Raw Vintage trem springs. Lowered the pickups, rolled off vol to 9. Job done. (saved several thousand dollar-pounds)

Really depends on genre, style, and personal preference. To me, LP all day. SGs sound great, but I like that deeper, darker, richer, growlier sound of the Les Paul. Cleans sound fuller, and distortion sounds smoother and thicker, and that's what I like. I do agree that the LP is a back breaker though. You also kind of have to fight with an LP, but I like that too.

I have both, but the SG makes me feel like the whole scale lenght is shifted to the left by 6 inches. Makes you fully extend your left arm to hit the lower frets. Superior upper fret access but it always feels funny to me

I used to have a normal Gibson LP with HH configuration and sold it because I thought the pickups were crap for my sound - now I have an SG with HH and couldn't be happier. Although I do love my LP with P90ies to the moon and back 🥴

I have a Les Paul and an SG Standard and I love both of em, except I like the weight of the SG far better than the Les Paul, the only problem is the neck dive problem with the SG, but if you aren't wild with it it's no problem. The sound coming from the 57's on the SG are awesome for hard rock and the Les Paul is also but I use it for more jazzy type stuff.

P90s kick ass. 😸

The ultimate secret I've only recently confirmed is that if you play either of these - an SG is one of my main guitars - try it through a Fender (or similarly voiced, 6L6/6V6) amp. Throughout early guitar life we were brought up to go straight for the Marshall, but it doesn't have nearly the clarity needed to articulate humbuckers.

I've always been a Les Paul guy, but I'm totally gravitating towards SG now.

They both are great for different reasons , and those reasons are why I bought both lol.

I got both and I love them equally but they are quite different sounding as you have stated.

Both myself and lead guitarist but i'm thinking of going for an LP, i think my rhythm guitar with an LP will go really well with his leads on an SG.

I'm a strat player looking to get a gibson , I wanted to prefure the SG but I'm in love with that les paul studio now .

For high gain/overdrive, definitely the SG. Love the way it cuts through for riffing. I've never gone full Les Paul. Just too darn heavy. I usually prefer lighter guitars like Teles. And the one Les Paul style guitar that I have is a semi-hollow Duesenberg.

imo Good vid. imo After my two custom-made guitars, my '74 walnut SG Standard with a Bigsby was easily my favorite.

Love the Sg, but I've never got one...I was warned about his issues in terms of stability and tuning (due to the neck completely outside the body). Does anybody clear this point? Thank you all.

Great video ! Great sound , but no sound difference at all for me - for me it‘s just that they look different and feel very different when I play‘em! Just my 2 cent . Cheers, Steve

Do you send guitars (bass guitars) to Ukarina? Are there problems with sending a polisander (rosewood) neck?

My first guitar was the LP, 2nd a Bullet Strat SSS HT, 3rd a Strat SSS with a tremolo. After that the SG was considered and then I discovered Ovation Applause acoustic-electric and that has put an SG on the back burner. Not because I don't want one, just a financial thing. Another one, a Telecaster is also one I would like. The LP, I'm a Bigsby B50/B500 away from converting that into a Gretsch-like Epiphone. That's basically my starting 5 in terms of an NBA sports roster reference. I don't know so much that I'd go a Flying V as a 6th player. But I would like to dabble with the shorter scale versions like the Ibanez Mikro, Jackson Dinky or Squier Mini, maybe ?

Dude, you NEED a tele and guess what....? You need an SG too ;) //Andy

I own both with both having 57 classics. As a guy who gravitates more trebley punchy sound i prefer my sg they really scream but i will say its a feel thing because my paul definetly is more comfy and easier to play(besides the high frets where the sg is better) but it has more of a bassy low end sustain. And they do mix well in a band setting and for recording purposes both are incredibly useful.
